you can get a pair of bilstiens for around $320-$380 that will lift your truck 2"-2 1/2"

Hey Motard1, I just put a Hell Bent Steel 3" leveling kit on my 05 2wd Friday. Measuring from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the fender, mine went from 29 1/2" to 33". It put my front 1/2" higher than the rear. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. That's what I want,just a slight reverse rake.

Im putting a 3 inch front and 1 inch rear ready lift kit in my truck this week. In order to go any wider than a 265 ive been told that offset rims are needed. I have 265/70/17s on my 05 4wd now and the inside of the tire is already frightfully close to rubbing the upper arm.

Maybe I missed it, but what size tire and wheel are you wanting to run?

I have a 2" lift in the front. It leveled the truck. If you want a low rear you could lower the rear as another alternative
