Leveling Kit

Since I'm gonna change out the tires to something a bit bigger, not extreme. I got to thinking that in most of these trucks when I look at them seem that rear sits slightly lower.
Has anyone done just a leveling kit for the rear? And if so what kit did you use?

One other concern is will it effect the ride?

I would think that if the rear is setting lower than the front,the front has been raised too much,since our trucks leave the factory about 2 inches low in the front.

This is true, and for an F350 it is a 2.5" difference.

Maybe people are using a 1 ton leveling kit on a 3/4 ton truck.

The my truck photos on the driveway it looks like the rear is sagging but that is
the slope of the driveway. If after you install a set of pucks up front it looks low in
the rear you can put a set of blocks in the rear to bring it back up. I have a set of
5 inch tapered blocks sitting in a box in the garage that I would love to find a new
home for. PM me if you want to talk about them. They were installed and removed
30 days later. Blocks,U-bolts and a set of nuts for the kit all nice and clean and no rust.

Im running f350 block in the back and 2.5in spacer in the front .
The spacers do a good job on maintaining the ride.
