Default 2" or 3" leveling kit?

My truck is right about 2" raked in front. I want it level. I would assume a 2" up front would make this work or do a 3" front and a 1" rear.

What are the drawbacks of doing the 3" over the 2"...or is that even a good idea?

you'll be putting way too much stress on CVs I'd imagine at 3" do they even make 3" level kits for these trucks".

I did a 2.5" level and it sits a hair nose high but with 35s you can't really tell. I've seen the best results with a 2"

i would go with a tried a tested kit from a reputable company. and i would not go 3"

autospring
rough country
readylift

I would go 2 or 2.5" and you might want to add a 3" block if you go 2.5" and are not satisfied with the stance (nose high possibility)

I would get a 2.5"... at first it will be a bit higher but after a few months it should settle.

here is my Scab with a 2.5" AutoSpring level.

I think it looks perfect.
