just added 2" shackles, should the truck look level???

My L now looks level, but I figured that 1" front springs would be needed to level out the truck? Am I missing something, I thought the back WAS 1" taller than the front. Should I not need 2" shackles and 1" springs to level it out? Thanks for any help.

When I put the shackles on the rear mine looked lower in the back, so I put some 1 inch lowering springs in the front. Looks good now, I guess it is all personal preferance.

When I put the lowering kit on mine, I just used the 1" lowering hole on the rear. Keeps a very slight rake, no change required for the front end and gives me parking bumper stop clearance for the front clip. Still, just a personal preference.

I used the Belltech 2" shackles, ended up with 1.25" drop, now dead even with the front. So I am leaving it alone, looks good, no worries about suspension geometrty or ground clearance.
