Not really know what you mean by level out your Sierra, the most common way is to adjust the torsion bar keys. Common for the driver's side keys to be torqued more then the passenger side due the the fact that the driver is on that side and gas tank which adds more weight. After a few years when the torsion bars weaken due to time, the torsion bar keys will need to be readjusted which should be checked when going for a wheel alignment. :D

If you have the 1500 Sierra that uses the coil over, most say that the front end level kit will not effect the ride using a coil spacer in the new trucks. I seen one of the guys had a 1.50 inch kit put on the front of there 4wd GMC crew cab. No difference in the ride but the truck is still 1/2 inch higher in the back, but it looks more. He should have had the 2.25 inch instead. He may look into lowering the back a little now.

Readylift's has a 2.25 leveling kit, and although there isn't a huge change in ride comfort, you will notice a change in the way it handles. Which of course is pretty much obvious due to the fact that you have changed the stance of the ride. :eek:
