Default Need to get level!

I have an "07" that I want to level out. What is my best option to lift the front of the vehicle to match the rear? There are a lot of opinions about BB vs. coil lifts, coil spacers for just the front vs. both front and rear... Some leveling kits come with more parts and pieces then others... All I want is to level the rig and retain the stock ride for now.

Figure out what any/all of the extra components do, then decide if you want/need any of them. If all you want is to level, then just add some spacers up front. If you want a small lift + the level, then get a leveling kit. If your axles are off-center, add trackbar brackets or adjustables. If your swaybars are angled down, add longer links. etc.

From what you stated, it sounds like adding small spacers up front is all you need...

Will spacers decrease the shock extension?

Yep. Will you notice the difference? Probably not. You're only talking about adding .75 - 1" spacer, right?

If you are looking at a leveling kit or BB, you can always add the cheap 2" shock extensions. It goes back to figuring out what all of the components do, and deciding which, if any, you need.
