It used to sit higher in the front with the 3 inch but the 1.5 out back leveled it out. Aal is a great idea for towing and stuff. I am thinking about using airbags out back so I can retain my soft ride unloaded. Here are some pics of my rig with the 3/1.5 combo and 295/70/18 tires and wheels

Mine might be a little bit higher in the back! You may be right there but I dont mind because before even with just my 2 dirtbikes in the back it would squat the truck quite a bit. After I put the 1.5 in the back it's a lot better now. As far as the wheels go great minds think alike I guess! Haha and no I don't think mine stick out as far as yours but you can be the judge.

Nice trucks guys. I also have a 3" leveling kit on my 06 4x4, and it has worked perfectly in the last 4 years it has been on my truck. Have done a lot of off road stuff and never had an issue with cvs, some occasional contact uca to spring if I get a little to uppity. Mine is an xl (longbed) so I think it may have had a little more rake from the factory. Usually sits barely lower in front, depending on the grade its sitting on. I have the ride-rite system in the back because I do a lot of towing and hauling, and that system has been perfect. Just recently my ball joints are going to need replacement, but again thats after probably 70k miles. Hope this helps, here are some pictures:

No they are only 12 wide. My next set will be 35x12.5 mtz's I had 33x12.5 mtz's on before and loved them. I'm not a huge fan of these nitto's . And they are wearing out a lot faster.

Mine has a 3" Rough Country with a 1.5 in rear. Sits pretty much level. Water doesn't pool up in front of my bed. Never had a problem yet. Been running the 3" with 35s for two years and nothing has gone wrong.

This is my plan in the near future. I pull a boat from time to time and adding 1.5" or so in the back would def help there and to put the rear about 1" higher which I think will look good.
