FLAWLESS VICTORY!
After months of research, i have come to the conclusion that a 3" spacer on a 2wd should be like a 2" spacer on a 4x4.
Reason being is that the difference is in the height of the strut. A 4x4's struts are 1.25" taller than those of a 2wd which is why there is a difference in height between the trucks. 4x4 guys do 2" spacers all the time with no issues so again, a 3" spacer on a 2wd should be ok.

Care to elaborate on this "horrible information?" His logic makes sense to me and its actually the EXACT route I was planning on going. Either that or purchasing 4x4 strut assemblies plus a 2.5" spacer up front and a 3" rear block. Since the 4x4 strut is in fact longer, why would a 4x4 strut with a 2.5" spacer versus a 2WD strut plus a 3" spacer be any different. In fact the 2WD + 3" spacer should in theory be lower by about 0.75"??

This is with 2.5" spacer, the control arm slams on the strut assembly all day, now imagine another half inch. You can put on whatever you want on your truck, your paying it not me

Go look at the upper ball joint on a 2wd with a 3" spacer and tell me it looks ok, it won't.
