If you think the rear is too low, just add a taller lift block. If the truck you are referring to is a 2001, you don't need a leveling kit. You can just crank up your torsion bars.

Another option, depending on the weight of the boat/tongue is to buy a load leveling hitch of some sort.

I agree with adding the blocks in the rear after the leveling kit if you think it doesn't look level. That way you will keep the factory ride. The 4X2 won't have the torsion bars like a 4x4 would so the spacer up front will work for your set up.
