The front spacer isn't actually 3" becouse it's not a 1:1 ratio. For the rear though you would just put a block under your leaf spring, or add a leaf to your springs.

I would put the level kit on first and then measure to see if you need the block.

Best way to figure it out is to measure from the ground to the fender. I would put the kit on first though and see if you want one. Also is the back of your truck lowered now?

The block for these trucks are different though. They have two holes drilled in them so they can bolt to the leafs.
