Default 3 inch lift

I was just wondering does anyone make a 3 inch suspension lift kit for these model trucks?

I'm pretty sure the smallest they make is a 4inch suspension lift. You can't get a 3 inch leveling kit bit puts cv joins at a not so good Angle and wears out ball joints quicker.

The only regret I have with the rough county lift is I can only add max of 1.5 inch spacer. I wish I could do the 3

I just looked this one up... Now since I have 3" level. Does this replace that or add to it? I'm kinda been lookin at susp lifts to get a better ride back than the stiff level
