Default Level, Lift, and New Tires

Just got the tires on the other day. It really makes the truck stand out. I have a Level kit and 2 in. blocks in the back. The tires are 265/75/16 BFG AT KOs.

Do you have a 2wd or 4wd? Also, is there a rake to your truck? I would think 2" in the front with 2" in the rear would maintain the rake but yours looks level....

& it looks awesome btw! when I get my new tires, I'm going to do the exact same.
