Rear leafs are bone stock, the front coils have some type of leveling kit. If it was stock the top of the coil would be right on that rubber pad.

Judging by his pic I don't think he's any higher than mine in the rear. My build sheet lists heavy duty suspension and I always attributed my high rear end to that, because I've seen other Dakotas that are lower than mine. I have a whole lot of rake on mine with no leveling in the front.

My truck has the 1.5" kit and there is still a rake to it, like the side view you posted. Measuring the the wheel well lip above the center of each wheel, my front sits 1" lower than the rear.
