Who cares. IT depends what look your going for, If you want that Rob and Big look, lower the back to make it level and put flat black 26's on there, but if you want the desert look put a 4" lift with 35' tires with flat black. Theres no sense into a huge drop or a huge lift, just do a little what ever you choose. TRust me either way the truck will look badass. But if you go flat black, You have to make EVERYTHING black, chrome and flat black donot match at ALL. I love evryone stealing my ideas haha.

So if I wanna level my truck, should I take it somewhere to get done. OR is it pretty cut and dry? Is this something I can do myself?

Leveling the front with the back?? If so its almost worth paying someone to do it. I did it myself and it was a pain. but its definitely doable. all you need is an extra pair of hands. And a coil spring compressor makes it a lot easier. Theres a good DIY on here

I have an 02 that I am painting, got it covered with epoxy primer and left for the winter. I like it. I may paint the whole thing that way but would rather have a "real paint" although the epoxy is waterproof so they say. whoever "they" are.

ya a matte black is going to be a bit rougher as most matte finshes are a single stage paint.
