Would you recommend also getting a set of bills for the rear if my only intention is just to raise the front 2.1 ...ya know to level it. Or would it not matter?
Is a product like this something you buy yourself then take to the dealer for install?
Do Bill's void warrantee?

I think you might end up wanting a set of Bilsteins for the rear as well - just so that the front and rear will ride the same over bumps. Shock valving comes in all sorts of different flavors and Bilstein's signature move seems to be digressive valving which feels sportier but doesn't provide as much peak damping on major impacts, when compared to progressive or bypass shocks. I didn't ever work my Ram hard for the 3 weeks it had its OEM shocks but I think they were tuned the other way, softer at first and progressively more firm on larger hits. A different front/rear balance might feel weird but maybe your best bet is to try the fronts by themselves first and save your money, then if you feel you need the rear ones go for it. The rears are easier DIY installs anyway.
The front struts are not hard to install yourself if you're handy, or any competent shop can do it. You will need an alignment afterward if you raise the ride height because wheel camber changes through the suspension movement range.
The Mopar OE lift kits include the Bilsteins as part of the package and they are considered OE replacement parts so they cannot void your truck warranty, but I could see a dealer push back on warranty if you also run larger than stock tires and something affected by that becomes a problem (for example, steering parts) though they could not deny you warranty service for anything unrelated to it (power windows or something like that..) .
