i think you can get heavier springs for the front. i was looking at some that were suppose to lift the front end 3 inches.

I know what you mean! I thought it would be easy to find a ready made leveling kit. I emailed a lot of manufacturers and I really liked these guys. Quite a few companies wrote me back and will make a custom spring for our trucks. Check out Eaton's questions and answers section. A lot of guys tell you to go to a heavier spring to raise the front end but that is not necessarily true. A couple of inches without changing your ride quality can be done and still keep it safe or becoming unbearably stiff. They will cost a little but it will be done right. Eaton quoted me $219 about a year ago. I still want to go for it but have other issues right now. In any event, don't be afraid to email a lot companies and shop around. Good Luck!!
