Leave it with the factory rake. There are more than a few VERY good reasons they are lower in the front.
Will it ever be off road? Are you going to upsize tires ever?
If not I’d lower the rear for a street truck. Better handling, less head toss, easier entry and exit.
Definitely raise the front end.
Bilstein 5100s set to +2.1" are a popular choice.
Otherwise, if you ever load the box after lowering the rear, it will be squatting and look horrible, not to mention the possibility of bottoming out.

Why not keep it the same? I was thinking of leveling my warlock until I realized its just not worth it. I do go offriad in mine mostly in northen arizona and have not found a place that I could not go because of height. The only limitation I have found are the stock at tires. They are ok but not great in mud. Before next summer I will be teying the geolander xa-at tires. Since I dont care to go up north in the winter and deal with more mud then snow. If you just want it for looks I would say its up to you.It will eventually have beefer tires when these bald out, so I am on the side of raising the front end?
You Sir are Management Material!Won't you get better gas mileage it it's always going downhill?
Towing with a levelled truck makes them squat in the rear, steering geometry changes ans so does the handling, aerodynamics/gas mileage, handling and ride on rough roads. Upgrading the stock shocks is a good thing, but leave the factory rake in place.What are the reason to keep the rake? Only thing I have heard is that it gets better gas mileage with the rake and aerodynamics.

Usually I agree with you on most things but think about what you just said. If you level it, it needs airbags if you are towing. If you don't level it, is usually doesn't unless you have no equalizer and a real heavy ball weight. That was pretty much my point.Nope it dosent if you do it properly and add airlift 5000 to the rear. Heck his in Arizona the Airlift 1000s would also work well since they would last in his climate.
Id go Bills 5100 for your truck OP, even tho im bias to the 6112s but they are stiffer.
