Haha, jesus christ man, someone a little sensitive? If you want to spout off and say I don't know what I'm talking about, I'll plainly tell you to go F yourself. Don't be a douchebag, provide some proof of your measurements to back your statement and help this guy out...it's all in the details, which clearly you decided to leave out. You're a perfect example of why I never come to this site.
As you said, every truck is different, MY truck wasn't even level with a 2.5" front spacer...so clearly the measurements on a truck with airbags are different from that of a truck without.
OP, I agree Mr. Sensitive...go with your gut and get it done.

Does your truck have airbags in the back?

I just put a tape measure on mine, 2014 1500 Express 4x4. From pavement to the middle of the wheel well arch 37" front, 40" back. I lined the tape up with the center caps. I'm pretty confident in my measurements. I'm ordering Day star 2.5 tomorrow. I don't think .5" rake will be discernable to the naked eye. I'll measure when it's on and report back for ****s and giggles.

Maybe it is just me but really have not seen any level issues on my 13 Express. First time I have seen talk about the subject when most of the time it is all about lift kits (my son want me to lift a 2wd).
BTW, I really love my Ram

On my 2012 Express QC when I did the 2.5 up front with the 3/4 in the back, here were the measurements. The rear spacer was just enough to help remove the feeling of being "nose up" after the front spacer was put in.
Before:
Right Front: 36-1/4"
Left Front: 36"
Right Rear: 39-3/4"
Left Rear: 39"
After:
Right Front: 38-1/2"
Left Front: 38-1/2"
Right Rear: 40-1/4"
Left Rear: 39-3/4"
Before:
Right Front: 36-1/4"
Left Front: 36"
Right Rear: 39-3/4"
Left Rear: 39"
After:
Right Front: 38-1/2"
Left Front: 38-1/2"
Right Rear: 40-1/4"
Left Rear: 39-3/4"

I don't have an updated picture.. but I did a 3" front leveling kit with a 1" rear spacer... the truck now sits perfectly level... prior to the install I took measurements from the ground to the center of the wheel well and there was a 2.5" difference front to back.. typically a 2.5" leveling kit should completely level the truck... i wanted a little more room for some 35-12.5 tires... so i opted for a 3" front and 1" rear... I'll get some picutres updated sometime!

2.5 leveling kit, plus a three inch body lift
I went with a 2.5 leveling kit and a 3 nch body lift. I was going to put larger tires too, however i traded my ram 1500 2013 for a ram 1500 2015. Everyone loved the look of the truck.....my 2006 ram 1500 had a 2.5 lift too...hope the picks load.The truck in the second pic was the look i was going for, sorry to include it.
