Default 3 inch leveling kit?

Guys, my problem is I installed a daystar 2.5 inch leveling kit on my 06 KR. It is not level. I have been hearing the 3s are bad for the truck. Am I hearing right? I really want it level. 3 inch kit really is my only option. Has anyone installed a 3 inch kit. And if so what brand do you recommend?

I guess it depends on your options. Is it 4x4? 4x2? My truck is a 4x4 and the pic is my truck right after I had the very same 2.5" leveling kit installed, and it looks very level.

You dont have any aftermaket rear shock that maybe holding the back up higher do you?? My dad got a stronger set to help with sag when pulling trailer and it pushed the back if the truck up one inch.

Im running a 3" in the front and 1.5" the back. The kit is from CCMoffroad. The only problem i have is a slight clunk when i go over big speed bumps. The clunk i would asume its from maxing out the ride height. Other then that i love the level of it.

i did a three inch spacer in the front and a factory 4x4 ford block in the rear on my 2wd. I have an ever so slight rack, but still looks good in my opinion.

I haven't done anything to the rear. I'm kinda at a loss for what to do. I keep hearing that 3 is too much but I mean I would really like my truck level. Anyone out there running a 3 inch level kit without problems? If so could you post some pics?
