I just did a 2" leveling kit on my 2006 4x4 also and the rear end sits at 41" and the front now sits at 40" from 38", so i think that it is normal to have a little rack on it.

Depends on how you do it because both my front and rear fender wheels are 48"

I used the Bilstein Leveling struts on mine so the actual 2" spacers might do it a little different.

A leveling kit rarely "levels" the truck perfect. Most trucks are about 3-4 inches higher in the rear but you can only go so high with 4wd before the cv's will tear the boots because of the angles. Not to mention your ball joints and sway bar links will max out.

so i measured the front and its 39" ground to wheelwell and 40" in rear never measured it before i put em on thou...but i did measure a friend of mines that is the same truck but 2007 quad cab 1500(MINE 2006) his front was 37 and rear 39-1/2 so assuming that is the same for my truck since i forgot to measure before i put the spacers in...neway so theres nothing i can do to raise the front an inch??without a hassle? or even the rear lower? what about runnin 33s on a 20inch rim will they fit or rub?

You can do both. You can either lift the front some more or drop the rear a bit. its up to you. Those tires will clear easily.

Not sure about the '06+ coil over fronts, but the '02-'05 torsion front 4x4s measure just under 2.5" lower in the front. A 2" kit will still leave the front about .5" lower. Not an issue IMO. A slight rake is better aerodynamically and will net you a little better mpgs.

You'll clear 33's easily. Put a couple bags of sand in the back if you want it perfectly level. Will bring the back down AND give you better traction with the rear tires at the same time...
