Just lower the rear end. Costs nothing. Levels the truck. Handles better. 35s fit just fine (315 70 17).
Do you want it higher, or, as you stated, level?

re lowering the rear
Hey Wetspirit
Sorry to hijack this thread but
My mechanic is set to lower the rear on my 3500 as you recommend to
level the rig.I also want to install a Banks DUAL exhaust system & am worried that the lowering may make fitting the exhaust impossible since the
tubes travel over the axle. What do you think?
Thank you very much!

Dante,
I don't have that exhaust setup so I'm not sure. But the bump stops still hit at the same height. In other words the truck sits lower with no load but it does not ever sag lower than designed. So it can't be a problem.
Lowering the rear was one of the best mods I've made and I have an MBRP 4" exhaust. Can't see how it could be a problem in your case.
