Body Lift Kits and Leveling Kits

Well I am planning on raising the body of my truck atleast 3" and I have noticed alot of People posting things about a Leveling Kit. I was wondering what a Leveling kit will do to my truck and if it will work if I put a 3" lift kit and a leveling kit on it. I would like to also see some pictures of truck with a leveling kit and a Body lift on it..Thanks

okay- im not tooo sure i know of anyone with a leveling kit, and a body lift, there are probably a couple, but heres what a leveling kit does...
this is my truck when it was stock:

this is my truck the day i put on my 2.5" AutoSpring leveling kit:

with a leveling kit installed you as a 2wd can fit 33"-34"MAX overall tire size
with a leveling kit, and a body lift, you as a 2wd can fit 35's
