what are the specs on your truck first of all?

second, you cant go any bigger than that on any budget lifts. You could add 3 inches to the front MAX without having a real lift kit including things that will relocate suspension components. It will throw your alignments off tires and joints. You could add lift to the rear if you want though but then you will have that rake stance again. So basically your maxed out as far as cheap lifting techniques.

There is no way different shocks with a level is going to give you more lift... It would probably give you more problems... A 3" level would be your only option or go with a lift..

Like KR said...your either gonna have to go with a 3 inch spacer and an add-a-leaf in the rear...or lift it...either body or suspension.
