Im actually going to make an appot to get it realigned and put the spacer on myself just to save a few dollars and have a new experience for myself.

your rear end will probably squat and your going to **** people off when your truck squats and your headlights hit them in the face. all part of it, I just use my off road lights and brights to blind them when they flash their brights at me, or train horns.

Damn I have the same exact truck. Looks fricken awesome! I just don't have the toolbox on yet. Mine is black. How much is it for them to do the aligning?

I would go with the new rancho quicklift loaded. It is a new shock and spring with the leveling built into it. It is really nice. I just ordered it for my truck. I have attached a pic of what it looks like. They are more expensive but from what i have heard they are def worth the extra money.
here is the link to ranchos website:
