You could go with a 2" drop spring up front, but looking at your truck......I would say the back is approx 2 1/2 - 3" higher at the rear. if you want level, i would say you will need to go about 5" at the rear if you drop the front 2". I like em with a little rake, & would say a 2/4 would give better axle clearance at the rear, without notching the frame. You may be looking at an adjustable panhard bar & some shock relocators at the rear tho.....
