Chisel off those gnarly bumpstops in the back, put one of those little mushroom tips on, and you've got 3 inch + clearance..you won't bottom unless you are way overloaded. I had to use the shortest shocks summit racing has up front, and my kit had drop brackets for the rear so it uses the stock shocks.
What are ya talkin about? level... it sits PERFECT as it is!! IMO the space between the fender lip and top of the rim has to be the same on the front as it is on the rear, otherwise it looks like the front is higher (even though it isn't) - gving the truck a desert truck look (Cali-lean, stinkbuggin, gasser, bulldogged, etc) Not my kind of look, but to each their own...

Mine is a flip kit in the rear, with a drop hander kit, and 2.5" drop spindles and 2.5" drop coils. The wheels are 20x8.5 all around.
