will i need an add-a-leaf?

ok so i just ordered my leveling kit, tires, and rims. i ordered a 2in. leveling kit along with bilstein 5100's b/c all i have heard is they are good shocks so i figured id give em a try. but i have also heard from a lot of ppl that put on leveling kits say that the front sits up higher than the back. i have no winch or heavy duty bumber or plow or anything of that sort on the front. so do you think i would need an add-a-leaf or block to make it level or is it just one of those things where you have to see before judging and deciding? thanks

It will be pretty level, but if you add any weight to the bed, you will have that pre runner look as nose will be higher than tail.

I think the perfect leveling kit would be more like 1.5" for non winch or heavy front bumper trucks.

if your truck has had a hard life ( heavy stuff in the bed) then you may need a leaf. but with a 2'' spring up front you should be ok. most likely

I Put A Leveling Kit On My 99, Sat Perfect Until I Hooked Up The Trailer... I Ended Up Putting Firestone Airbags W/ A Add-a-leaf. The Rear Will Sag With Substantial Weight.
