Did you get it aligned?

If so, just buy some bigger rear blocks or add a leafs to lift the rear up a little.

seems like the only fix for tiny tires is to get bigger ones, if you want a level truck then do what these guys sugested and go get a 3inch block instead of buying diffrent kits.

yup your two options are add-a-leafs or a bigger block im in the same boat i bought the hbs 2.5 and although it looks awesome the back sits about 1/4"-1/2" lower in the rear so i was gonna get some add-a-leafs i had them on my last truck and loved them plus you get abit more payload out of the deal!!

I just had mine taken off. When it was on it made the front sit 1/4in higher than rear, and was causing the CV shafts to leak. When I got it home I checked the blocks they only messured 1/34 in and it raised the front damn near 3in total. Im done with leveling its Im gonna go 4in lift.

I put a 2.5" HBS leveling kit on mine last Sunday and it did the same thing. I haven't taken it to get aligned yet, but right now the front is sitting about 1" higher than the rear. I was a little surprised after all the threads I read on here that said to get the 2.5" to make it level.

I don't mind getting blocks for the rear, but I just need to figure out the right size now. Higher is better anyway!

what u could do is if ur fronts higher than the rear take out ur factory blocks in the rear which are 2 inches.. and got to a local autoparts store and buy 3 inch blocks that thatll get u going
If this is true, I will just pick up some 3" blocks and swap them out. Can anyone else verify? I'm trying to avoid "see-sawing" my truck up in the air.
