with the 3" in the front its going to be a little bit taller in the front. but a 1.5-2.5" leaf will make it more level.

if youve read this thread, leafs will give lift and strength. blocks will add lift.

Ummm... Neither. You have an existing dipping front end wich means that the front is lower than the rear to start with. You want to have more lift in the front to level it out with the rear. How much you go with is up to you. The config you listed, you will have an identical "rake" in the truck but will be 3" taller.

To be a little closer to level, get the 3" front / 2" rear.

You can level it out and still have good towing, just use a rear add-a-leaf instead of a block. Makes it ride a little harder in the rear but you get the better look of leveled with the benefit of towing ability.

If it is a 4x4 yes. I believe they are actually 1.5".

2WD's have no blocks.
