I realize when it sits with no load, the front is slightly lower than the rear, but it looks good to me!

To me this looks a million times better. 2" Auto Spring lift.

Lets just say buy chance you hit a nasty rut and crack the frame in the front end .... or maybe bend the frame, which could happen even if it were stock.... ok now you have 5 or 6 k in damages. So you really believe the dealer will say "oh sure no problem we will cover the cost even though the modification may have effected the strength". If you think they'll pat you on the back and say that then you must be smoking Lefty Luckys my friend ....

Actually, the front end sitting lower than the rear has nothing to do with the truck sitting level when its loaded.
Its in response to NHTSA "requesting" that large vehicles have frame and bumper structures closer in line with that of passenger vehicles to try to cut down on fatalities when a truck such as the F150 rear-ends or broadsides a car like a Toyota Camry. Too many trucks rolling right over cars and decapitaing people and such.
