Default Leveling a '07 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd

Alright, just bought a 2007 Ram 1500 2wd with factory 20" tires and rims. Want to put a leveling kit on there, but don't want a nose up look, and don't want it to not be enough. Have been looking at just getting 1.5" leveling kit, but would 2" or 2.5" be better? Any help or input would be great, thanks!

2" is gonna be pretty darn close to level. about as close as you are gonna get. i put a 2.5" on my 2500 and it ended up higher in the front.

Do you think that 2.5" will be too much for a 2wd or no?

(edit) turns out i replied to slow. so do you think the daystar 1.5" will get me pretty close to level?

I've got a 1.5'' leveling kit on my 08 2wd. It sits pretty close to level, check my sig. 2.5'' would definitely be nose up, but they don't make a 2.5'' kit for the 2wds. Have seen a 2'' kit, that'll be pretty much straight level, if anything's in the bed, the nose will be up. But if you go 2'' you need to get new shocks and i've heard people have heard funny sounds on hard bumps. I've had no trouble with my 1.5'' kit from daystar, didn't get new shocks and rides just like stock.

Thanks for the help. Ya, think I'm gonna just end up going with 1.5" from daystar. Money is short right now since the new purchase, but want to at least get it leve lfor now. Hopefully around Christmas I'll have a 6" procomp lift with some 35's.

That looks sweet man. Only thing is, you got a 4wd. We've got the 2wd, i searched and searched for a 2.5'' for a 2wd and couldn't find one.
