I ordered and installed a Bilstein 2.3" leveling kit a while back.

After installing it, I was disappointed that I was still 1" lower in the front.

So I went ahead and ordered 1" spacers even though I didn't want to compromise my newly found enjoyment of a softer ride.

I had already dished out the money for the level kit and didn't want to trash it and have to spend money on another at that time.

So, I guess my question is, if the front-end height on these trucks varies from truck to truck, how do you ensure that a lift or level kit you buy will be the correct height?

For example, if I were to buy a Carli 3.5" lift (not considering improved ride quality in this scenario), it says it lifts the front 3.25" and the rear .5-2".

Well, it took me 3.3" just to get my truck level, so now I've just spent $2600$ to raise the rear end up an inch, make myself not level again, and gain nothing in overall height.

Am I crazy and overthinking suspensions?
