i dont know if you can put in a leveling kit after a lift kit install. you might be one of the first to do so if you could.
suspentionconnection.com has a 1 1/2 inch from Daystar for 40 bucks. you can install those yourself in about 30 minutes if you have the right tools.

Going by the photo your truck looks pretty sweet and the rake isn't very dramatic. Atleast you'll be level when towing/hauling

Yeah I might sit tight on this one as they should settle down a little bit. Put a few hundred pounds of weigt in the back and that will help it settle a bit quicker then you can re evaluate your course of action. Does your truck have blocks in it in addition to the helpers?

On a 2wd you either need to buy some coil spacers or some springs. Unfortunately, I havent seen any springs to JUST 1.5"

So I would be on the lookout for some coil spacers.
