    So as you all know…the front is 2" lower than the back from the factory.

    Are there any kits that sells the leveling kit+ the 3" lift kit all the way around? (so I guess it would be a 5"/3" lift)

    Im new to lift kits but have learned that junk country is a no no.

    Anyways, let me know what to do!:confused:

    You can't "stack" lifts which is what you're talking about.

    To get the height you're proposing, you want a 6" drop bracket lift such as fabtech or procomp. (It doesn't lift the back a full 6" - more like 3 1/2" or so)

    OP, what is going to be the use of the truck? Off roading? Towing and Hauling? Or just crawling at your local mall?

    You could do a leveling kit in the front then do a 3" body lift.

    However, most folks will recommend against a 3" body lift as potentially unsafe.

    That would be a very "ghetto" or "redneck engineering" setup to put on a nearly new 2014 truck. If you want that much height - do a 6" drop bracket lift.

    I understand what you're saying, but you wouldn't be interested in 3" up front and 1" in the rear? it would be level then, just not 3: higher in the back. What size tire are you wanting to run?
