Default AutoSpring 3" Level Kit

I'm sorry to ask yet another Leveling kit question as they have been asked repeatedly. However, I couldn't find the exact answer to my particular issue/question. I ordered the AS 3" level kit and the 3" rear block. Can anyone see any potential issues with this set up? I'm currently sitting on 20" MB V-drive wheels and the 35" tires. Again, sorry to ask yet another leveling question but thanks for any and all help.

So.... You want the "rake" in your truck?

No, I accidentally ordered the 3" on ebay. I'm gonna' call AutoSpring in the morning before they box and ship. I ordered the rear block as well because I've seen leveled trucks on here that put a block in and it looked awesome. Essentially I want the the most aggressive look I can get without a suspension lift.

I'm just curious what the 3" front will look like when combined with the rear 3" block. I saw a truck on here with a 2.5" front and a 3" rear and it looked sharp.

I'm not sure. I don't think anyone has done that 'cause most people want to level the truck out. Adding that kit simply raises it 3".

if you go with a 3/3 kit then it will look just like it does right now but 3 inches higher. i still think it would look good.

I'm starting to find posts on the other forum that says the 3" will wear out the ball joints prematurely. Does anybody have some insight into this matter.

The rear block is a replacement and not meant to be added to the stockers, so it will sit one inch higher in the back, not three.
