Leveling Thoughts
Guys...Among other things I'm looking at leveling my '13 SCREW. I've searched but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. If I don't do tires right away do you still think the level looks ok with the factory tires? Will a 2" level bring the front end up higher than the rear. I don't want the front to be any higher than the rear. Thanks!

I have a 2" level and still have 1/2" of rake. I didn't want it perfectly level, just wanted to reduce the rake.
Not every truck has the same amount of rake. You will have to take some measurements to see how much rake yours has to determine what size level to go with.
Opinions may vary but I wouldn't level it until you're ready for tires. Even my truck looks silly when I put my drag racing tires on. People look at my truck like what happened?? Did this guy get 4 flats and is running 4 donut tires?

Mine is a 10' and I have a 2" HBS level with factory 20's and 275/55/20 tires. The rake is very minimal now. I just now am getting tires but only went with 275/60/20 due to not wanting a much heavier tire and cost. I've had the level on for almost 2 years with this setup and I think it looks just fine. A lot of ppl will say it looks horrible.

Don't forget that a new truck has springs that have not yet settled. I've never bothered to measure the as new height vs after a year, but there is a change. And each spring may not settle the same amount.
Something else to consider before you select a certain height.

I think it will look fine until you get new tires leveled. That's what I'm doing. Pretty sure 4x4-2.5 will get you leveled and 4x2-2 will get you leveled. Make sure when you do the level the battery gets disconnected.

AS 2.5" leveling kit with 3" rear block
Auto spring finally came out with full front and rear block kit. I only wonder if the rear blocks are are as safe as the ready lift oem style blocks. Here is the link it's super cheap I think I'm going to give it a shot until I get my mid travel kit.

I measured from the ground to the top and center of the front and rear wheel wells. I had an 1.5 inch difference with mine and put a 2 inch in and it's now a half inch high up front
