Default Level kit for a 07' Z71 pics wanted too

Just got a 07' EXT. cab classic Z71. Needs to be leveled, but it has brand new rubber, so i'm not ready to get bigger AT's yet. Any one have pics of their just their truck with the level kit for the front to be even with the back? On near a stock size AT. Thinking of just doing the spring spacer. Opinions? Truck is a DD and will sometimes tow a car or boat, nothing too serious. Just want it looking a lil better. I'm guessing a alignment is needed when you put the spacer in as well. They advertise no ride difference, no wear on other parts, just bolt in with stock shocks and go.
Thanks!

Just get some ford keys or crank the t-bars to level it out. It will look fine on stock tire size.

I was thinking about that but i heard it will ride like ****, and wear out front end parts out quicker.
I don't want it to change the ride.

Get some keys then, will not affect ride at all. Cranked t-bars will ride on the rough side.

Is there something wrong with the spacer deal?
Other way a bit cheaper?

there is a lot wrong with the spacer deal if you don't have coil overs up front to put them on lol. I know they have an 07' classic which is the older body style and then the new body style 07' what im not positive about though is if the new body style 07's have torsion bar suspension or coil over suspension. In the case that it has torsion bar suspension. just goto a ford dealership and order a set of ford torsion bar keys they are indexed differently from your stock keys (if you even have them) and will lift the front of the truck without killing the ride. NOW if you have coil overs you have no choice but to get the spacer in order to level it and then yes you will need an alignement either way.

Correct, it's the old body style like the 06's.
Ford keys....which one's do i ask for? Year, make, etc. How much do they run?

If your only wanting to go up a little bit just crank up the stock keys and see if you get what you want out of them first..
I have mine at about 2" higher than stock,also i took the sway bar off the front and it rides better..
