Maybe a good 2" in the front and 1" in the rear. I wouldn't go 2.5" for the front.

well its got a 1.5 in the front, and nothing in the rear. i like how it sits front to back, it measures dead even almost. if i put a 2 in the front, and an inch in the back, then ill be a half an inch high in the rear. hence the 2.5 front 1 inch extra in the rear. i think it would look good with another inch at all 4 corners, theres an 06-08 lariat screw, 6.5 foot bed around here that sits great, its got stock tires, but its higher than my truck was when it was on its 1.5 with stock tires, the ubolts look longer in the rear, meaning to me its probably got a 3inch rear block(dont wanna be a creeper and go stickin my head under there), and a 2.5 or 3 inch levelign kit in the front. it would look great if it had my tires on it.

i would like to not run a spacer though, so the QL's and nothing in the rear might be the way to go.

i dont mind the taller with smaller tire look, if youve ever seen a slightly lifted suburban or truck with stock tires, sometimes it doesnt look bad. i guess i need to talk to my photoshop buddy to see if he can raise it an inch for me.

if you think about it what im talking about doing would be like having an 04-05 truck with a 2.5 since the 04-05s come an inch higher in the rear. thats a fact too, thats why you see some trucks with a 2.5 that sit level(04-05s), then other sit nose high (06-08s)

my dads got an 05 stx 4x4 with the 4.6 and its an inch higher in the rear, on the same driveway.
