You'd be better off leaving it the way it is. The suspension will settle over time. If you try to lower the rear to level with the front you'll sag in the rear before long. If you level it out and it sags, then you have a load in the truck, then it'll REALLY sag.

Just my $0.02

yeah i would leave it to. did your kit come with a 3 inch lift in the front and 2 inch in the rear? some kits come like that to fix the lower front end. but being that your truck is not that old and it probably has not seen much use i would wait a awhile and see if the back end settles some.
