yea, I put a 2.5 on mine and the front sits a tad bit higher than the rear. If you are saying a 3'' doesnt even bring you up to your rear then somethings up. I understand all trucks are diff, but 3'' should be more than enough. Are you original owner? Like someone else said, add a springs or worn out?

i had the 2.5 on and it didnt set it level, so then i put the 3 but that still didint, i have 90,000 on the truck it has been aligned and there are no rear blocks or an add a leaf. could the front end be worn out? would buying new spring do the trick?

Do you have a heavy half ton (7 lug nuts)? I have a regular half, 06 5.4L Screw with 2 long leaf springs and and one short. I added a 2.5" HBS level and my front was up a half to 3 quarter inches high, so I added a Pro Comp AAL, which wouldhelp be 3 long leaves and 1 short. Hope this helps.

Thats crazy i have the 3" on my 08 with 52,000 miles and that made my front just a little bit higher. Maybe new front springs might do the trick..

I have the scab 1/2 ton nothing is added to the back. I just think the front springs are wore out. Cuz I heard a 3 would make it nose high, but it isn't. So what the cheapest rout to fix this
