What have yall used to get rid of the nose down rake? I bought the second vehicle I've owned today, and this will be the first thing I do. I definitely want it to sit higher, but do not want to look like I'm in high school. My work pick up is a 1 ton, and this half ton needs a boost up. I will probably be putting a replacement bumper on as well. Opinions on those are also welcome.

Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks You shouldn’t rely on shocks to carry the weight of the front end, that’s what the springs are for,

I used a Rough Country 2" leveling kit for for the front end of my 08 Dodge. It made it sit just right.

Don’t do spacers, especially if you’re going to do a bumper. Do new coil overs.

i put a rough country on my FX4, looked great. did not replace the bumper though.
As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind...Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks--Thomas Jefferson

Don’t do spacers, especially if you’re going to do a bumper. Do new coil overs. Spacers maintain the factory ride, no reason not to use them unless you want a different spring rate.

I'd do Rancho or KYB Quicklifts if they have them for your year model. Bilstein's would require you to swap springs over.

Anything besides a spacer lift! Bilstein 5100’s are a better option

I won't. My 2011 is doing fine and was leveled 130k ago with spacers.

Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks on my 2018. Great ride. Gave the truck the profile I wanted, exactly.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

What do you guys think about this truck? Too lifted? I'm on the fence whether I like it or not.

Looks good to me, depends on how you'll use it. just me, I don't like leveled pickups, end up nose high when you put weight in the bed or tow.
