The truck has about 350 miles on it. Im assuming it wont settle too much more (most of my vehicles that were new came out and stayed at the same height) Can anyone confirm this. I dont mind the rear being slightly higher but I prefer the truck to be level if I have the choice.
I got the same truck just a 2012, mine is almost 2 years old and just put a 2.5" level in a its perfectly level so i would think you would be ok. I also got the big fuel tank and when that filled up (136L) it still don't sag. Thats alot of gas $160 in gas that is haha.

I have a '12 and I used the HBS kit. perfect level, big tank also and no negative sag when full. I had a trailer on it for 600 miles full and it still looked level.

Looks good and beefy. Seems ok to me. With those big tires you might need it high for the clearance. I'm only putting the 2" leveling on mine with 295/60/20. So I'm hoping it looks perfect.
