The ground wasn't level in the first pic. On perfectly level ground it looks perfect.

Almost identical situation to bendirkiss...

I have a 2012 1500 ST in Mineral Gray, with RamBox. Currently running stock basic P265/70R17's. I am planning on doing a DayStar 2.5" level kit (poly kit, no metal), but I definitely want to keep at least a little bit of rake. Hoping the results I get will be similar to yours. Also plan to upgrade to LT285/70R17's, or bigger if I can avoid any rub. Also mildly considering the full 2.5" DayStar lift... or maybe just the TGC .75" rear spacers with the 2.5" DayStar front kit. Recommendations would be great.

First pic is at the dealership on the day of purchase, second pic is in my yard. The front air dam actually rubs some curbs... unacceptable for a 4x4 truck. Other than that, LOVE IT!

Hi Guys , just a few things , I own 2011 big Horn CC 4 x 4 , I installed 2" ready lift in front and nothing in rear at the same time of install I had a leer cap installed after a year, 15k miles , my rear was sagging ..... I installed Air lift 1000 .... It helped but still is a reverse rake . I wish Bilstein had these available ...when i did this work ....spacers are nothing but a cheap fix . Problems await believe me . Mopar make a two inch kit with All Bilstein shocks and new rear coil springs , No spacers . Yes it's 800 bucks but its manufactured for your vehicle by Mopar. Amazon has this item . Rear springs ,front and rear shocks and all necessary brackets to lower rear sway bar mounting points .
I have a very slight grinding/ bearing noise up front that dealer can't find , I'm wondering if these spacers put undue stress on my CV axles or hub Bearings . The boys at speed shop will promise you the World !!!! Buyer beware .
Sorry to rant , Good Luck

What do you guys think of the HBS I have heard mixed opinions on the aluminum vs the neoprene spacers thoughts?

Yes you need an alignment anytime you change geometry of your front/rear.
