stick with the one for your truck. some mfg. suggest 2" is as high as you should go even though they make taller leveling kit. I went with the AutoSpring 1.5" and gained over 2 inches. now I am about 1/4" higher in the front. many on here have done the 2.5" and 3" and no trouble so they will chime in. the way the shock mounts to LCA is different from 13 and back, just use the one for year model. some say to switch sides with shocks and springs when adding a leveling block.

I had the 2-1/2" Daystar kit on my '04 Lariat. The 04 and 05's had taller blocks in the rear and needed the 2-1/2 kit to level it out. Personally I would go with the 2 inch on your '14 to level and with a 1-1/2" if you're planning on towing over 4K pounds. Also I would stay with the one made for the '14 truck.

I just put a 4" lift/level kit on my truck and the front spacer is exactly 4" and the rear block is exactly 2"
For reference:
With that known and knowing you are only going to level it, use the 2" spacer and do nothing to the rear.

Glad I can help!!! I love the way it looks and it took me a while to put together. The front is a 2" Hell Bent Steel Level, and the rear is a Procomp 3" block. Before I did anything I talked to my dealer and this was the setup they recommended and in the end taxes in and installed It was $600.00 Canadian.

Looks great!! Did you keep the stock rear shocks with the new 3" blocks?
