I have 2.5" on mine. I am thinking of doing a 1" lift on the back now though.

I like the looks of your truck with the stock rims. What brand and size tires are they??

ive been hearing alot about people lifting the back lately. can someone fill me in on why you would want to lift the rear when the whole reason for lifting the front 2+ inches is to level the truck? not being a dick honestly just realy curious on why people do that.

a 3" will not give you much of a bulldog...it will raise hell on you CV shafts though.

For when towing or hauling so that your not way nose high. That's why I went with rear airbags as I can stay level when loaded or unloaded. Maximum adjustability with bags.
