Hi, I was just wondering if it was ok to put a 3 inch leveling kit on the front and 2 inch rear block.. would that make it even? Not very good with this stuff. Help me out? (:

4" front with 2" rear will level it. I just did that today with my truck.

yes you can, and yes it will level the truck perfectly!
you could even just lift the back of the truck an inch and be level with a 2.5 front.

Although I have a feeling that if you put a spacer level on the front of your truck, you'll be pretty unhappy with the road performance of it.
I know this from personal experience.

go another route such as leveling front shocks, a spindle lift, or a lift kit and you'll be much happier with the suspension performance.

I have seen people put the 3'' on and it wears out the ball joints a little faster. There is a couple of threads on here about it. I am one of those people. :< Not sure if it is beacuse of going off road, the other people that I know do go off road. I dont care stuff happens but some people dont like this. This is for the 04 body styles not sure what you got.

A 2" level in the front leveled out my truck, so I'd guess that there is a 2" rake from factory. if you put 1" block in the rear, you'd need a 3" spacer in the front. 2" in rear, would need 4" in front. etc..
