yep... I went w/Pro Comp ES3000. Then straight to the alignment shop.
The flower pedals are alright...I just have a picture in my head of what I want...
& its not those wheels. I'm going matte-black.

Here is my truck after leveling it. 2.5in, but close enough. I got new shocks also. Monroe something. And the stock 20s powdercoated. But if you need any help on the install PM me, it will be fairly close to mine

2.5 put me a little higher in the front. and FYI since you have a 2wd, you can get shocks for a 2wd 2500 and they are 2" longer to accommodate your level.

I did the 2" and tale of the tape says the front sits 11/16" higher than the back. Imeasured from the center of the wheel to the top of the wheel well. I'm not sure if I will shim the back up to compensate for the difference.
