If you use the search button you will find MANY of threads on this subject. But me as well as almost every other member here agree that a 3inch leveling kit is wayy to much. The biggest you would want to go is 2.5inches. Reason being is that it will put way too much stress on your upper and lower ball joints, Tie rods, and etc.

I went with a 2inch on my 05 and it sat level to me. I didnt do anything for the rear. I have pictures but my truck also has another 15inches of lift on top of that so you wont really get any idea out of that.

Also, why would you pay over $200 for the ReadyLift kit when identical kits sell for less than $100? Save your money and get a 2.5 inch Autospring kit.

Go with autospring like wandell said. And yes it should make your truck sit about level. I have the 3" and haven't broken anything yet, but I am also saving up for a suspension lift to replace it with... I know rough country makes a cheap ($1299) 4" suspension lift for 4x4s not sure if they have it for 4x2s but if they do, that would definitely be your best route to achieve 3-4". But since you have a 2wd you don't have the cv axles to worry about so you might could get away with a 3"...but if you go the level kit way, I'd play it safe and go 2.5
