Default leveling kit

So I just put on a Hell bent steel 2.5" leveling kit. should of done just a 2" but did not want the risk of not high enough. 1996 dodge ram 2500 cummins. Its not sittling level. It's sitting up high in the front (Has this happend to anyone els?) I know easy fix block the rearend but I really dont want to. Besides taking the leveling kit back out was and is there any tricks to make it sit better, and or does the front end settle over time? or am I just going to have to block the rear? Thanks guys

Either a block or add a leaf is about the only way unless you want to put airbags in, do you tow alot?

I got myself a set of 5" blocks im hopping that will be enough, I went to my local 4x4 shop owner who is a family friend and they looked at it and said a half inch so I hope there right. Plus I had no idea blocks are so much dang. Any way do you guys have an easy way to install the blocks. Iv done a little reserch. Now do I have to take off the wheels or is that just a easy facter? thanks for all the help guys

Leave the wheels on; loosen your u bolts and jack the truck up by the frame to remove the weight off the springs. Any luck you'll be able to slip the blocks in place w/o taking the u bolts completely loose.
