When I put my bils on at 2.8, it was nose high. I immediately put 1" spacers on the rear. It had about a half inch of measured rake. Visually it still appeared a hair nose high at certain angles, but the body lines on these trucks can play tricks on the eyes. Anyway, its since settled and now has just under an inch of of rake which is noticeable but nowhere near as bad as stock. I think I could pull the spacers and it'd be "ok", measure almost level but look a bit high (again, body lines) but I'm good with just a hair of rake and having a little lift in the back to be honest. I'd say if you absolutely don't want to touch the rear go 2.1, thats probably what I'd do if I did it over. But the spacers are easy to put on should you go for the full 2.8 and not be happy.
