Default Raise or leave low

Im debating whether i should raise the truck back to stock height or keep lowered the back rides good because of air shocks but the front is harsh i know what to expect dropping trucks this low but im not sure if i should lift the front back up to get better ride but if i do that i have to do the back too or it will look goofy....what would you do?

That thing looks really good as it is man, but I think if ya had to take the front back up to stock if you got the back to sit level with the front that thing would look good too.

I think im going to measure and see how much play i have before im hitting the tires on fender and cut the bump stops down half of that to get a little more play i didnt think i was gonna lower this truck when i put the wheels on it so i didnt compensate for it and my wheels are too wide in the front to tuck preciate yalls thoughts on it!

O yeah thats the goal when the money is right i may c notch the back before i bag it just so i can put regular shocks....i customized air shocks for a 03 to fit mine because they dont make em for 04-up and i keep air in them which raises the back up 1.5 inches or i bottom out frequently
