Lifted and Leveled- front higher 2 inches?

My old 03 ram looked the same after a 6" fabtech lift. I don't think it is accurate to measure from tire to wheel well, as the front and rear wheel wells may not be identical. I think the idea behind the levelling kit is to level the truck....and that was the case with mine as when I put my 4' level on the box sure enough it ws levelled. It did look a bit funny at first and the front looked higher, but I believe its just the front wheel well that is higher giving you a false illusion.
Also, I am not sure about your lift kit but with mine the lift in the front was more than the lift in the rear, not anything significant, but they were not the same.

Yeah, I kinda agree with the fella who stated the wheel wells are at "different heights". Try measuring from the body line at the bottom of the cab and box.
There are many ways to "fix" your issue with the nose high stance. If you like the overall height of the front, then you can get blocks or an add-a-leaf for the rear springs. If you like the height of the rear, you can take the leveling kit out and get a smaller one. Did you even measure the height difference from the front to rear before you installed the leveling kit? My truck needed a 2" spacer to be level... my dads is nearly level from the factory (1" would be the max).
And yes, you can safely go up several tire sizes without any issues, as your "half ton" has 3/4 ton axles . But, if you get up into the 37's or even 35's, it will be wise to re-gear.
Good luck!, and post pics!
