Default 02' and 03' leveling?

I am planning on purchasing an 02' or 03' 1500 4x4 with the hemi or 5.9. Only problem is I hate how the front end is raked down, I would like to get the front end up as high as possibel to level. Anybody know what I should do?

buy a leveling kit, thats what i did. Some people will say to just crank in the torsion bolts but i've had a couple mechanics/suspension guys tell me that it puts way to much pressure on those bolts and the cv joints. I love my leveling kit though and its very easy to install

i have a bd performance kit, my front end it exactly 1/2" lower than the rear, but i have room to go at least another inch, i'm not sure where it got ordered from but my buddy pulled his out cuz he decided to put a lift in and the one he bought was 5" front and 3 rear which defeated the purpose of the kit, he has it for sale pretty cheap if your interested it was only on the truck a few hundred miles

Wouldn't a levelling kit put the same pressure on the cv's as you're changing the angle of them either way?
