Ive got the same truck as you ....07 Screw with the 6.5 bed. Im going with the Bilstien leveling shocks because i only need 2 inches to level it. Take a measureing tape and measure from center of your wheel to the bottom of your fender for both front and rear. That should tell you how much you need. If your worried about the rear sagging when towing or hauling put an airbag on there to help, thats what im doing. Good luck!

The axis of rotation is the rear axle, and other than some minor change in how load is applied to the rear spring and shackle, the distance in the rear is fairly static when not under load.

Umm... Im about 99% sure that Im not wrong. WHen you level your truck it has minimal if any effect on the rear of the vehicle. On level ground if you measure from the center of your wheel to the edge of your fender in the front and the same in the back there will be a difference. Once you find out what that difference is you will find the amount of lift need to level your vehicle. Pretty simple math

I mean when you measure from ground up or hub up the top of the fender well will be different heights even when leveled.
See my fenders are different hieghts unless you guys are measuring to something else and I miss-understood.
The best way is to measure from the back frame down and front frame and down.

Sorry for the delay and thanks again for everyones help !!
I measured the fenders from the ground.
Front 36-5/8"
Rear 38-3/4"
So Roughly 2" Difference, Any Ideas on leveling, add a leafs and wheel and tire sizes I definetly want more of an aggressive look but the truck will not go off road !
Thanks again to everyone

If your truck is level so should your frame.

I leveled my truck so the distance from the top of the tire to the wheel well opening lip on the fender is the same front and back, as opposed to the front being lower than the rear, so it looks level. I'm not sure what your trying to say. Due to the height of my cargo box the rear fenders are higher than the fronts which slope down at the nose.
