Default 2.5" leveling kit

I think the front of my truck is higher than the rear what the Hell? I put the lift on last Saturday, and it looks great... But I was looking at it, is aal the fix?

If it matters......mine settled about 1/4 of an inch. Give it a few months. Otherwise the answer to your question is yes. Either an AAL, a new rear block or Airbags.

Did you get your truck aligned? A lot of times there isn't a full lift until an alignment was done

I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance, it'll probably be tomorrow. Its not really noticeable unless you pay close attention like me, I found some aal's from pro comp for $96, is that about as cheap as I can find em? Cause if blocks are cheaper (which I'm sure they are) I'll take that route, but if the "settle" a 1/4 inch I might just leave it

Well I'm aligning it tomorrow, I guess I'll see if that changes it, it may lower it, the positive camber really isn't that noticeable

You never know, of anything just wait until you get aligned to buy an aal. I feel aal is better for whenever you may need to load up the back and towing. As for the trail grapps those will look good on any truck I think.

Air bags do not lift the rear end at all. Just keeps it at the stock hit when loaded.
