Default 3 inch leveling kit poll

Simple question. Do I install a 3 inch leveling kit or go with less?

Option 1 Go with less, the 3 inch causes too much front end problems.

Option 2 Go for it, many people have it on their trucks with no problems.

I don't think I'm going to go over 2" when I buy my leveling kit. 3" looks like it's too much.
