You want to see what kind of level you need first as well. Your truck may not have 3" of rake. May need a 2". They say don't go over 2.5". I have Bilstein 5100's maxed at 2.8" and I have some 4WD vibrations.
Measure the highest point of your wheel wells all the way around and find what size level you need. The difference between the rear and front will tell you what you need.
There are a few guys running levels and 3" body lifts. I'll be one of them in about a month. See if we can get some of them to show off pics of their trucks.

thanks to all of you guys, I already have the 3 inch level blocks that for whatever reason I bought off of a teacher at school; $35. so it didn't kill me. ill put it in and I guess see how it does. the 3 inch pa BL is already on its way. I guess I got a little to anxious 
also I got a steal on a brand new set of 35x12.5/20 federal cougar on 20x12 -44 moto metal 962s. $1500 brand new mounted and balanced from the tire shop. im in less than $1900 so I have plenty of room in my budget to buy a different kind of level if something goes wrong. id love to black out my head lights and odds and ends why I do that. im going to do some pretty wicked stuff in the next month so stay tuned!

Sounds sweet. I'm a little leery about the 3 inch leveling kit. I think I'd ditch it and get a 2.5 inch kit. Your ball joint angles will be much better.

Agree with above ditch the 3" and use a 2.5" . Going to be mighty hard and your front end.

Thank you guys. But it's what I have and it'll do for 10 seconds or 10 years. We will see. If it comes to look like it'll be a problem them I will change it but it's what I measured for when cruizer told me I should measure it'll be a slight but above level. Every truck is different and I respect all the help! Thanks to everyone!
