1.5" if you're not doing anything to the back. With 2" front spacers and a stock back your truck will look higher in the front than in the back. Not cool IMO.

I have a 2010 as well. FX4. Is yours a 4x4? I went with the 1.5" AutoSpring for the front. Nothing added to the rear. Here's the thing. The 1.5" AS level is supposed to give you 2" of lift. Or at least it used to. Its the same spacer they used to lift the 2004-2008 models 1.5", but the geometry differences on ours actually gives it 2". Its also the same dimension spacer as the other companies 2" kit spacers. (the size of the spacer is not the amount of lift you get) Does that make sense? Also, you can look at my pictures to see if thats the look you're going for. I'm still torn as to whether I should have gone with the 2" AS or not. Its almost level, but I think it still has some rake to it.

You might have to trim just a little bit off the front air dam because of the 12.5 width. I had an 06 with 2" spacers and had to trim about a half inch off to clear my 34.5x12.4-17 BFG Ta Ko's.
But I now have the same tire/size and lift on a 2013 and no trimming was needed.

Agreed. If you don't want to do anything to the back go 1-1/2" possibly 2" but you might think the front is too high at 2". I know I did.

I did a 2" level in front on my '12 Platinum... I think it's pretty level... At certain angles it looks nose high, but not enough that it bothers me really.

I did a 2.5 inch rough country level kit. Looks good just be careful with the cv boots they do stretch and possibly during your install you might cut or knick the boot
