They make a 3" but its not reccomended because it puts a horrible angle on your cv shafts and adds a ton of stress to everything.. i would crank the stock ones to level it and add a 2 or 3 inch body lift until you can afford a complete lift

The stock ones dont level it. It needs about 2 " and the stock ones crancked all the way up only lift the front about 3/4"

Hmm.. i would crank them and see what your cv's look like, because i know on my gen truck (97-03) when cranked up, the cv's get some funny angles, and if they seem ok, then go the 2" lift key.. i still wouldnt go higher than that though
