Leveling kit

I want to install a leveling kit on my 17 250 lariat but I have some questions first.

1. Which height would match the stock height of the back of the truck?

2. I bought a 3 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper extended warranty will the leveling kit in anyway affect or void my warranty?

3. Can you guys post some pics of your trucks with what size kit and tires you have? Thanks

From what I've seen online (still waiting for my truck to land - 2017 CCSB Platinum 6.7), a 2-2.5" kit will land it damn near level. Pro Lift, BDS, or Carli seem to be most popular.

My 6.2 is 1.5 inches lower in the front still after installing a BDS 2 inch level kit.

2.5" Carli leveling kit, adaptive steering, no issues so far. Still waiting on front shocks to arrive. The oem rancho shocks are garbage and even worse with the 35's. I'll be installing my buddies carli kit with fox performance 2.0 shocks this Friday. Really looking forward to test driving that thing.

Here's mine how it currently sits.....
