I'm new on this board but I like the way it's set up. I'm thinking about a zone 3" BL. As my truck has new 285/70/17 BFG rugged terrain tires I don't want it too high. I'm thinking about the BL then lowering the rear spring blocks to get it closer to level. I'm afraid of the CV angle caused by the leveling kits even though I bought one from HBS. (never installed though)
Has anybody tried this? Any pics?

The leveling kit will change your change your CV angle yes, but not to the degree that you'd have to worry. Several members on here run just a leveling kit and have had no issues. I ran a leveling kit for a while with 35's with some trimming, and then added a body lift. I just recently got rid of the leveling kit. If you'd like I can post some pix for you.

Sure shoot me some pics. I stuck a floor jack under the front of my truck and raised it 2" to see what the spacers would accomplish. It looked like it changed the CV angle though.
