2.5 or 3 inch level kit?

I have a stock 06 super crew 4x4 and I am wondering if a 2.5 level kit would be good or should I go with the 3 inch kit? I want it to look dead even and I plan to put on a fabtech 6" stage 1 lift kit in the near future....any advice is greatly appreciated!

I plan on using either

also where is the cheapest place you have seen online that sells the fabtech 6" lift for my truck?

Do not recommend 3". I would go with a 2" or 2.5", I have a 2.5" AS and it sits a touch high in the front. The 3" are very hard on your ball joints and CV joints.

measure your truck and find out what the difference is from front to back.

I concur, don't pick the 3" leveling kit... I have a 2" kit and it works well with a 4x4...

I agree dont go with the 3" level for the sake of your front end suspension components, take a look in my gallery I have an 06 4x4 with a two and a half inch level. and without the add a leaf I sat dead level.
