Firestone Ride Right
Just installed the 2 inch AS leveling kit on 08 screw 4wd-now front sits about 1 inch higher than rear. Thinking of putting on a Firestone Ride Right rear kit to level things out and give a little extra support. I have a leer topper on and I think that what is making rear low. My question-has anyone put on the firestone kit with an aftermarket exhaust. I have a MBRP single side exhaust and am worried that the extra diameter will be in the way of the airbag.

I can't speak for your particular exhaust, as I had a Magnaflow 16616 (dual side in front of tire) on mine. But I doubt you would have interference problems, as the RideRites fit pretty well inboard.
They're a really good investment, especially after putting a leveling kit on. Any additional weight (like your topper) will make the rear sag. While mine sat level when unloaded (Truxxx 3" kit), I had the bags to level out if needed.
Since you have the topper, you may need more than the typical 8-10 psi needed in the bags at all times, so you may have a somewhat stiffer ride. But again, I think the best solution to the combination of leveling kit and topper weight is to slap a set of RideRites on. I got mine on e-bay but forget the vendor, cost was approx $220...well worth it.
Good luck!!

I measured again-have 275/55/20 factory tires-with 2" AS front lift-front wheel opening to ground-39 3/4-rear 38 3/4. I would guess that my issue is the 10XQ Leer Topper at 300 lbs. I guess I like the option of the Firestone Bags so when I do load it up I'm not blinding everyone. I did lower my headlight aim when I put the lift on.
