Bilstein 5100 leveling struts are your best bet.

If I had a 4x4 and only wanted to level, I wouldn't think about anything besides the Bilstein 5100's.

Because all a leveling kit does is put a big "puck" on top of your coil spring where as the leveling strut replaces the factory strut with a new, upgraded one that allows you to adjust the height of your front end. It's the best bang for the buck and it actually is an upgrade on top of being a mod. Plus leveling kits have been known to put undue stress on your CV angles
