Default 2wd leveling kits

What's the best leveling kit for my 2wd? And after that how could I jack 3 inches body lift on it? would I have to level first? Or could I just put the 3 inch lift on?

i put a 2.5in coil spring spacer on mine and then i put a 3in body and it looks fine...i would prolly do both bc it will sag in the front...mine did bc of the tow package..i have pics of before and then after the level and i fit 315 and then after the body i fit 35-12.50-17.....the only problem i had was getting it alligned...it took about 500 bucks bc i had to get new shocks and then get a cam bolt kit for the a-arms...let me know what you decide to do...

Well I think I'm planning on getting a 3 inch coil spacer on the front and then put a 1 or 2 inch block in the back

if you do that then it will sit the same it does now with sag in the front...when you get over the 2in spacer you will halve to get new shocks and also get a shop to install a cam bolt kit and then allign it...it cost me around $500 bucks....what i would look at is a 3in spindle lift and then some blocks in the back....thats what my next lift on my truck is going to be...

Well dang that's kinda out of my price range. I couldn't just get new shocks in the front with blocks in the back?

i dont know how much lift you would get off of just shocks.....but if you do any kind of front spacer over 2in you will have to do all of it.....if you go with anything less i dont think it would take anything but the shock spacer....which should come in the kit...

Go with a small leveling system in the front and 3 '' body thats the cheapest way to get some lift. Daystar has good leveling kits while performance accessories has a good body lift.

Okay cool. I'm guessing it looks pretty good too? And could I fit 325/60/18 tires?
