First issue is this might not be the best section for your question.

Next the simple answer is no. By leveling the front end you will create more drag and your truck will fight the wind more than it did previously. You will lose power but hardly anything to notice.

If you were to go bigger with your tires then yes a re-gear is something to look at in the future. I've always had 4.10s around the 33" tire mark and it seems to be an all around great gearing ratio.
