SkyJacker has 1-1.5" AALs for your 2500. Topguncustomz has 'em listed for around $150

When I first did my leveling kit I thought it sat a bit nose high as well. After driving it like that for a little while I don't notice it anymore. Whether anything actually changed, I don't know, but I am happy with it now. Maybe drive it a bit before you change it again. Just a thought.

I don't know, I put a 2.5" spacer in front to supposedly level it. I thought it looked good for about a week and then I felt the rear end was sagging so I put in an add a leaf. Now I think I need more in the back. If I put in any load and I feel nose high. ( I know its only a half ton but with no more than 900lbs today it was sagging pretty bad.) I am thinking about either another leaf or new springs.

(AAL is really easy for those looking to do it, I am not skilled and had no problems. I did have access to a lift and I don't live in road salt country which I think is what really makes the job a breeze).

Yea, I only used a 2" spacer because I believe less is best.

What about a shackle flip? That would be a cheap and easy alternative and you could get the inches you needed and be able to leave it stock.

The long Add a leaf from Skyjacker is the best one. It is about a half inch thick and raises the back another inch. With my 3" Skyjacker coils is still has a little rake. With a load it sits level. "Shorty" leaf like Procomp will lift very little. Spend a little more and do the Skyjacker and it keeps you safe from stacking blocks, stiffens the weak spring pack and raises it perfect. I bought the set for about $80 2 years ago. My .03 cents (3 because I have this product and can verify it.)
