I have the same setup and think the same way. The rear looks a little too high. I still have 2" of rake. I am pondering replacing the 3" block with a 2".

Do you have to do a bigger block in the rear after doing a AS 1.5" kit: NO
But I'd recommend at least a 2" replacement block.

Keep in mind the AS1.5" kit will give u 2" of measured lift!

Yep, the spacer is the same they used on the 2004-2008 models which gave those ones 1.5" of lift. But the dimensions of the spacer is exactly the same as the 2" spacers from the other level companies.
I installed a 2" AS kit and it gave me 2.25 inches of lift. The spacer was 1.5"

I was gonna get a Hell Bent Steel 2.5" front leveling kit cuz that's what my buddy has on his. Mine is an 08 FX4 crew cab. His is an 04 crew cab.... do I have to do blocks in the rear?

I have a 2" Level on my truck and it feels about as tall as a 2004-2008 with a 4" lift.

I am using 2" rear blocks in place of my stock 1.25" ones as well and running 33.5" tires.

Your truck looks nice...I just bought a 2012 Platinum SuperCrew and hate the rake it has. Was thinking of getting the 2" Daystar on the front to level it out. Yours looks just about exactly how I would like mine to sit. What brand did you use?
