Bad Idea
Because if all they did was install pucks, they took your labor money in exchange for a truck with tires too big for the wheels and a front end ready to start doing the death wobble dance as soon as the joints and bushings get worn out enough, which won't be too long from now at this point.

Leveling Done Right
I've said this before in several other threads, and I'll continue saying it here again, just for the record: A correctly done leveling kit with either springs or pucks involves at a minimum:
1) Control arm eccentrics full forward.
2) Adjustable track bar ~1" longer to center the axle
With big tires you are also going to want:2) Adjustable track bar ~1" longer to center the axle
3) Steering brace
4) New or better stabilizer
And to do it all right for best results:4) New or better stabilizer
5) New 1/2" longer control arms
6) Longer shocks
7) Longer sway bar end links
8) Drop pitman
And don't forget to install new ball joints and tie rods in case you've already been driving it with just pucks for too long.
6) Longer shocks
7) Longer sway bar end links
8) Drop pitman
