Try using the search function on the site for 3" level and most of the guys on the site would probably steer you away from that much of a level. Your going to run into some issues with the install and more than likely alignment problems. I would recommend the 2.5" Hellbent steel level, easy install, easy tire alignment and no adding to the rear if your not looking to. Hope that helped

I had my 3" HBS for a little over two years before I lifted. I didn't have any added height to the rear, but I would recomend it: my 33's would grind my rear fenders pretty good when I'd off road. I did some decent wheeling once every couple of months and when I lifted I had worn out both lower ball joints and one swaybar end. If you plan on being on just being on the road you should be fine, and I actually really liked the way the truck handled with it.

Just put the Rough Country 2.5" on my regcab. I'm only going 33"s for mine but I hope it looks half as good as yours with the new rubber. That truck looks great!

What kind of fender flares are those where they transition to the front bumper as if factory? That is sweet.
