I would advise you not to put a 3" leveling kit on. it puts your suspension at way too severe angels

Yeah I think 3" is a bad idea...not to mention a costly one eventually. I don't even like the idea of my 2.5" anymore. The truck is probably not as bad as you think. Most people (people outside this site) won't notice the slight rake. Park next to a stock truck at the store...it will make you feel better.

I normally agree that 3 inches spacers are a bad idea. However, with a really heavy brush guard like the Ranch hand, I doubt a 3 inch kit would lift the front of your truck 3 inches.

Or if you have a 4x4, just get smaller blocks in the rear.
