Best 3" suspension lift?
Can you guys help me out and suggest what you think the best 3" suspension lift is? Like brand wise. Money is really no object here, just want a quality lift. Thanks!

To get 3" you would just need 3" spacers up front on top of your stock struts or you can get 2.5" out of the bilstein 5100 leveling shocks (). Then the back you would just need a bigger block. I have heard 3" in the front causes too much strain. I did a 2" spacer in front and a AAL in back, which I guess could be considered a 2" suspension lift.
If money is no object, than you might want to check out a 4" Rancho LIft (i believe only 4x4) or a 6" lift by fabtech, pro comp, skyjacker, etc. (they make 6" for 2wd)

my experience with 3" strut spacers....
3" in the front, big tires and aggressive/offroad driving= new upper control arms in 10,000 miles....
3" in the front, medium size tires and getting groceries....... not gonna be a problem

I have 3" in the front and 2" aal in the rear... my rear sits about 1.5" higher than the front..
On most trucks 2.5" in the front will get the truck perfectly level, the rear can always be adjusted with blocks, if you are looking for a perfect level or a certain amount of the rear being higher, you could always get custom blocks made at any machine shop for pretty cheap...

Could you post a pic of your truck for me?

What happened to your control arms? I've been running the 3" kit for over 3 years now, with 35s and some pretty serious off-roading, never had a problem.
