Aftermarket bumpers are definately on the list. The front bumper already had a couple of cracks by the headlight washers so the missing chunk is no big deal. I also want a steel bumper for the back since that one was broken when someone rear ended me. I was thinking that even after the front bumper swap that the rear would still be lower than the front. I am estimating that the bumper will drop the front about an 1/2 inch but it would still be unlevel. Plus I am not sure when I will be able to afford the bumpers so I want to make it level. I was told the 751s were the springs to get from this forum and I do like the way that they feel. I just want to make the rear the same without rigging it.
You may want to consider 779's for the front, just beware that if you do play hard and or load the front end tthe 779's may sag with time.

I agree with Mike, It is VERY level. If you just go off by the distance of the space between the top of the tires and the wheel arches then you will think the rear is lower. And if you look at the direction of all your horizontal lines above the green center line (roof gutter, base line of all the windows, side molding) they get closer to the green line as you get further front. mine is the same way before and after my 2 inch spacer install..(which i don't recommend) lol
