Angry 01 1500 sits like a drag truck

About half a year ago i bought a 01 Ram 1500 sigle cab short bed 5.2 i later realized there is a 3 inch block lift on the back. The front is at stock height, so you can imagine what it looks like. I want to make the truck sit level, so would i be better off putting a leveling kit on the front or putting a 3 inch lift on the front?
Thanks

I would just get a 2" leveling kit, or new coils from a 2500 like I did. If you go over 2" you will need longer shocks also. And the back comes stock with with a 3.25" block.

You don't actually need new shocks though for a 2 in lift.

Should be enough. Expect some rub if you actually off-road your truck though.

skyjacker has 2 inch coils that are a smooth ride. They are Skyjacker D20. They are softride coils. i had them with bilsteins, very smooth. yanked em and put the 3 inch ones on instead.
