Default Leveling

I have been wanting to level my '02 Silverado 1500 for quite some time, and think I'm finally going to get around to it this summer. I'm thinking I'm just going to get front spacers to put on the front coils, but I'm not sure whether to get 1" or 2" spacers. Right now, i just have the factor lean and hope to get rid of that. I wouldn't mind having the front ride a hair higher than the back either though. If anyone could post pictures of their leveled trucks so I could get a picture of what mine would look like, I would greatly appreciate it. Advice is also welcome.
Thanks a lot!

Do you want to raise the front or lower the rear? Is your truck a 4X4/ Z71? If so crank on the torsion bars and get the front end re-aligned. If it is a 2 wheel drive get the spacers. If you want to lower the rear get 2 inch drop shackles.

A lot of people just crank on their stock torsion keys and get the front end re-aligned. And I read somewhere that if you do get new keys then look at getting the keys for a Ford Ranger the reason I do not recall....
