Default 3inch level

Ok I know everyone is against the 3" but would it really be that bad on a 06 2wd? I don't go offroad, it would only be for looks and fitting 34.5s

I fit 34.8's on an 05 2wd with a 2.5" level. My buddy has a 3" no issues though. An 06 is level with a 2" so you'll have a Cali lean unless you add a block.

I have the 3" skyjacker on my truck. Had it on there since 2009 and no issues so far. I mud with it all the time.

If a 2.5" didn't put you level something is wrong, the 06-08's only need a 2" to be level.

Then you should be dead level with a 2.5" mine was actually a tad higher up front but only noticeable on the measuring tape.
