I have the 2.5" Pro-Comp LK and I haul around a 100lbs. dog box in the bed at all times and it still looks pretty level to me. Pics in my gallery.
With that said if you plan to haul more than 100lbs or so I would go with the 2" kit. I haul more than 100lbs. maybe 2 to 3 times a year so to me it made more since to be totally level 97% of the time as opposed to level when towing about 3% of the time.

Well, I finally ordered the 2" kit. I thought my heart was set on the 2.5" kit but when I put the measuring tape to my truck, the measurements said the 2.5" kit would put the front end about a 1/2 inch higher than the back. It makes total sense though because when I look at the pics of Brian FX4's truck before the leveling kit, his truck was quite a bit more raked than mine sits right now. For some reason my 06 Lariat SCrew 4x4 seems to sit a hair more level than the XLT's or some FX4's. Maybe they put different springs on the front or maybe the crew cab puts more weight on the back. Who knows. Thanks for all the advice, I'll post before and after pics when I get it done.
