3" spacer? no! it puts ur angles to steep and stresses to many things. 2.5" max.

3" body lift? if you do that do a 2.5" leveling kit so your truck sits level.

well if you dont want to spend 2 grand on a 6" suspension lift i would recomend 2 1/2" spacer and 3" body. spacer should be no more than $300 installed. 3" body for a nbs i think runs about 800-1000 bucks installed. if you do just a 2 1/2" spacer you can fit 33's on oem rims or a rim w/ similar specs. if you top it off w/ a body lift you should fit 35's

to check to see if its compatible go to their website check part numbers or email them and ask. if your near a truck shop you can also call/go up there and ask them. if you decide to do a body lift make sure to get gap guards. makes it look 100 times better.
