Measure form the top of your tires to the top of your fenders. What do you get?

Front-7" from fender to top of tire
Rear-9 1/2" from fender to top of tire
So 2 1/2 level in the front ?

Yeah, a 2 1/2 should do it. Make sure you get an alignment to see the true "level" though.

I went with a 2" hbs on my 04 screw 2 /wd. When I measured I came up with 2 1/4" low in the front. I have seen some trucks on here that are higher in the front than the back I dont care for that look but some people like it.

I would do a 2.5" in the front if you want it to be level, when my truck had a 2" it was higher in the front but I didn't put an add a leaf in the back, if I had it woulkd have been higher in the back. Also I would suggest getting rear blocks, the add a leafs will eventually cause you stock leafs to bend around them in a s shape because they are so much stronger than factory. They also have a tendancy to slip when you drive offroad because there is nothing to hold them in line with the other leafs.
