Default Deciding between 2" level and 3" level with blocks.

I have a 2011 fx4 with the 20" wheels, and I currently have a 2 inch level on my truck with 33x12.50's. I am ordering some new tires and this time I want a little taller so I've decided to go with 295/60/20's. My dilemma now is do I want to keep the 2 inch level, or do I want to buy a 3 inch level with blocks in the rear end? Has anyone had both? Or does anyone have any pics of their 3" levels? Thanks

285/65/20 ko2's. 1.5 inch block in the back and somewhere around a 2.5 inches in the front with icon stage 2. It's the best think that will ever happen to my truck. I love it.

Here are a few pics of my truck. 2.5 level and a 2" replacement block in the rear on 295/60/20.

3" level will likely tear up your front end. I get it, it looks cool. But the geometry of the suspension is not meant for it at all. Your UCA will probably be riding on the coil and you'll have no travel at all. Your cv angles will also be terrible.

Just my 2 cents.
