Leveling?
Hey guys! I'm on stock height and I wanted to level my truck out...except I don't want to raise the front....I just want to lower the back...it's about +1.5 inches higher in the rear?

But won't that drop it two inches? Then the back would be lower than the front? Or no?

It's not perfectly even but so much better than before. My shocks are probably useless for the most part so its likely that the front is sitting on the springs for most of the support. (Watch me go 2/4 and see no change in height :P )

part of me wants to lower the back end because the 14 inch tires would look way better, but on the other end I want to raise the front end for the functionality of it. Are you still thinking of lowering it more? It looks perfect at that height IMO, but it's your truck.

Yup. 2" all around so a 2/4 drop. New coils in the front, axle flip kit in the back, unflip the shackles, and new shocks all around. I think 2" is not too much, just enough to make it clean and stand out a little more than factory. And the new shocks will be the best part lol, no more #boatstatus.
