From the OP
I don't want to lift the back as I'm going to run the stock tires till they fall off

Just got mine done... 2" AS kit on stock rims/tires. Gonna wear out the tires then probably get Firestone Destination A/Ts, at least 285s. I like the slightly nose up stance. Now I don't have to worry about breaking that plastic air dam underneath evertime I go on a firebreak.

Ah, gotcha. I will admit that once i leveled the front and raised the back slightly, the stock tires and wheels look too small. Wheels are the next on my list, but I have about 20,000 miles left on my tires and will be waiting to replace them

They apparently didn't get any of my emails thru their ebay store asking about this, now suddenly they do get them, asking me to revise the feedback I left. He (Kevin) finally said that all trucks sit different that their experience says 2" "should" level it. I suggested they change their ebay part descriptions to indicate that, he agreed. He agreed to exchange the kit (no way) as well So...

Buying a 1/2" adder block from them to get the truck level.

In my opinion you would be dumb to "stack" blocks! Just buy a 3" block and remove your stock block.. You will sit perfect! A little higher in the rear for towing etc...

In case nobody has ever noticed, a 2.5" leveling kit makes the truck sit perfectly level. The front fenders are cut higher than the rear ones. Take a look at your truck that way. It may "look" higher in the front but thats just the space from the top of the tire to the fender top thats getting you. If you were to put a level on your bed right now it would be slightly higher in the back.
