Smile how high

picking up my new 09 tomorrow or friday . I hate the look of the back suspension being way higher that the front and wondering how many inches to raise the front to make it perfectly level, also what brand/kind of leveling kit to buy that will be very reliable but not kill my wallet, thanks.

If you want to lift the front, I'd suggest the Autospring kits. It's a quality kit and is usually under $80. As for the height, every truck is a little different, but 2 or 2.5 inches will usually make them sit level. So, just break out a tape measure and decide what size you want.

The level kit goes on top of your coil springs so whatever tools you need to remove your front tires, etc.
