What sort of budget are you working with? There are many options in almost all budgets.

tiny lift should not break the bank from what I been looking at,,, say $600 more or less not an issue... of course like everyone else,, cheap is better as long as its good ride

HELP on tire fitment with front level

I am going to suggest a different idea that will provide a better ride and cause less stress than a standard leveling kit would in my humble opinion. I would go with replacing your front shocks with the bilstein 5100 ride height adjustable set. 2 shocks @ 104$ and you can level up the front either 2.1 or 2.75 depending on what your truck will need. Then i would throw on some 1.5" hub-centric wheel spacers so the rim will be locked on with the full length of a lug nut on the spacers which will be better overall for your front end in the long run. Those should run you about 170$ for 4 on ebay. Total cost = 380$ plus installation. I did mine myself with the help of a friend who has done it many times before. Just grab yourself a torque wrench and you'll be good to go. I preferred this over a leveling kit, especially since I was replacing my shocks at 60k miles anyway. I hope this helps.
