Leveling kit help
Does anyone make a 3.5" kit? I've seen and heard people getting a 3" kit in front a 1.5" in the back, but it seems like that wouldn't be level. Please post ur advice on what i can do to get that kind if lift level.

I have been doing some research on this for my truck. I have not yet purcheaed a kit. But from my reading, 3" puts a lot of stress on the axels and on some trucks may slope the truck back towards the bed. I believe from my reading that 3.5" would be way too much and cause some bad geometry on your front end suspension. If you want that kind of air, you may want to step up to a bigger lift kit.

Why would you want a 3.5" spacer? That would definitely not be level, not to mention as previously noted, bad front suspension geometry. Most people that get the 3" front and rear AAL, blocks or shackles aren't going for a level-look anyway, they're trying to get back some of the rake they lost with the front spacers, and so it doesn't go "cali rake" when they have a load in the bed.

There are tons of pictures about this already, just search for "leveled pics" and you should be able to see how the level looks

Unfortunately it sounds like you are looking for something that doesn't exist. While I'm certain it would be feasible to make a strut spacer that makes for a 3.5" lift, I have a feeling the reason you're not seeing them is because it creates a problem with the suspension geometry.
If you're looking for a higher ride height, I'd recommend taking a look at 4" or 6" suspension lifts.

Sorry bud, but taller costs more, there's no way around it.
