Well for one, IMO it just looks better because it gives the truck a nicer stance. The level also allows for a larger tire to be installed without rubbing.

Leveling your truck gains more room for bigger tires, removes factory rake, and provides higher ground clearance

For me it was personal preference as to visuals.
Mine is leveled and I like the feeling being a bit higher without a lift.

Ok, so you mean leveling by lifting the front end to match the rear? Not by lowering the rear to match the front?

You can level it either way. I wanted to go with more of a offroad look

Most raise the front by 2" with a spacer.

I got a 2" spacer in the front, and replaced the factory rear blocks with 3" blocks. This set up gives you a little bit of a rake so your rear doesn't squat lower than your front when towing.
