I'm confused. Do you want it level or do you want it to have a factory rake? If you want it level, put a 1.5" or 2" spacer in the front and do nothing with the rear.
If you want it to have a factory 4x4 stance, put a spacer in the front and a block in the rear. If you do this, your rear will be higher than the front, as it currently is.

With any front spacers up to about 2.5" you do not have to replace them. The bigger the spacer, the more severe your angles get. Something around 1.5" to 2" won't be so severe that you'll have problems.

This will work for the rear.

Or this.

You'll need an alignment after, and you should replace the rear shocks with 4x4 length shocks.

Rear shocks cost $40ish each for oem type and can be replace in the driveway with hand tools. You don't need to even jack up the truck or take the wheels off. If you can change oil, you can do that.
I doubt shocks would be part of your extended warranty anyway since they're a wear item.
Leveling the truck and adding a block would void the warranty too. But I doubt it covers suspension anyway.

Well, since your shocks are shorter than the 4wd version, they might bottom out since they'll no longer be long enough. They might be fine though if you don't go off road at all. I'd replace them personally.

Well I can promise you swapping rear shocks won't void a warranty. Because I highly doubt shocks would be covered in the first place. Those shocks are likely not doing much at 43k and 10 years old anyway.
