3" level kit?

[EMK]

I measured my truck and it is exactly 3" different from front to back. I've been reading a ton of threads and I cant make sense out of any of it. One thread say 1" of spacer will double lift, if you go 3" you'll need to change control arms, if you go 3" you'll be higher in the front and need blocks in the back, your spring will want to pull out of the bucket, you'll feel no change in ride, it will ride like a buck board, you need a front end alignment, you don't need a front end alignment......

I want to get a level kit on it before I go get my tires so I can get an alignment all at one shot.

Now another question. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I am searching the web for kits and they go from $300 down to $50. Now come on what do I really need here?

Is yours a 4WD? If so go with a 2.5" at the most. 3" is gonna put some wicked angles on your ball joints.

As for which brand to get, you can't go wrong with Hell Bent Steel...

I leveled mine with a 2.5". I wouldn't go any higher than that if it's 4wd. That leveled mine up to a difference of only 1/4" to the rear.

Yes its 4wd. Thats the one I was leaning towards. I see in some reviews that it did not "level" the truck. I guess I would need to put a lift kit on and should be happy with what I get.

What do you think is the largest tire I can put on her after level, on stock 20" rims? I dont want it to look like I just jammed tires in the wheel wells.
