I have basically the same truck as you. I had to do a lot of trial and error to get the desired level look I was looking for. Hopefully I can help you get to where you want to be quicker than it took me and minus my headaches.

I first started off with the spacer that goes above the strut. It gave me a 2.5" lift in the front with that sorta of "Cali rake" where the front end is higher than the rear. I didn't like that at all. Too much exposed front wheel well besides not liking the rake look. I removed the strut spacers and went to the Motofab 1.5" level kit. These spacers fit below the bottom of the shock. I still wasn't happy as it appeared to have too much front wheel well exposed and if I put anything heavy in the bed, it looked like I had 10k pounds of weight in the back and the front end way up. So I removed those spacers and went with the 1" level kit spacer by Motofab as well. I was pretty happy with this. The truck looks level without a bunch of exposed front wheel well. I turned the headlights down a full turn or so on each side and got the front end aligned. I also added some washers below the Magnetic Ride arm plate that is attached to the A-arm. I took notice of its original positioning and added washers until the positioning was the same as before. I'll try to find some pics and post for you.

Since your truck is a lease you may consider doing a wrap/plastidip instead of Line X on it. Should you have problems and don't want to keep it with the Line X on it you're going to end up keeping it.
