I went 2"... and almost regret leveling it. Whenever you have a load, it looks over exaggerated. I prefer the stock rake vs the opposite effect. I ended up buying coil over shocks to the rear to help keep it level with and without a load.

Measure from center of wheel to lower lip of fender. Do the same for the rear. The difference is how much of a level you need.

I put a 2.5" spacer and brand new coils. It ended up higher in the front to where I'm putting an Add-a-leaf in now. But I like the height so whatever...

Just make sure you get new shocks if you do the spacer.

Sig pic: 2" level, no load.

This one: no level with 2500 lb. load. Just imagine the front 2" higher.
