Wow. I may be wrong but with the factory "rake" and another 2 inches in the back I think it would look like you were driving down a steep hill on level ground.

I put the firestone air bags on my truck and love them. I can give it lift when needed or keep them deflated for the standard ride. They do make the ride more stiff when inflated a significant amount. I put about 25 pounds of air in them for normal driving and it doesn't make it to stiff. These cost me about $250. Easy to install and work great especially when carrying a load.
