Leveling kits

Leveling kits
I'm not a big fan of lifted trucks. I'm going to put 35's on the new Limited, but I'm not 100% sure I like the amount of lift the Tremor. That said, I don't like the nose-down stance at all.
Who makes a good leveling kit, and how much does the front need lifted? I've see 1-1/2". I've seen 2-1/2", and even 3".
TIA

The 17-19 sat higher than the 20+ trucks, and even still I found that a 1.5" level in the front was perfect. I have no idea why guys are doing 2.5 and 3.0 kits. That's going to give you the "Carolina Squat". You need *some* nose down stance so that when you haul and tow your headlights aren't shining into space.
Here's my $20 eBay 1.5" level kit which installed easily and has worked flawlessly for the last 9 months towing, hauling, on and off road.

I have a 2.5 kit on mine and haven’t had any such issues. In fact I actually had those issues when it was completely stock with just a 16k trailer on the back. But not anymore.
I simply put airlift in the rear of mine with their automatic compressor kit.
let’s meetup and load up a few thousand pounds or more of tongue weight…..in your truck and mine….and see who’s squats more and who’s headlights are pointing into outer space more.

What wheels and tires do you have on that? Those look good. I've been considering Modern wheels and snow rated BFG KO2's or Toyo AT3's; we travel the mountain passes in the winter. I want something that's rated at 3500+ pounds to so it's at least as much as the truck's 12,200 GVWR.
