So now the question is how much can i lift the front before the front is higher than the back. Would a 3inch front lift look odd?

Again, not trying to be a *****, but just measure the difference in height between the front and the back with a tape measure and that will tell you the answer.

Also you can really only lift the front 2 inches if you have coil springs up there cause its near impossible to put bigger spacers in. If you want more than 2 inches, you'll have to go with a body lift for 2 more, but a body lift won't put the front higher than the back.

From the pictures a 1 inch spacer will cure your problem. You may have an ever so slight rub at full lock, but I doubt it.

Lol....if you really wanna find out if 1 inch will do enough get out a tape measurer. Take a jack and put it under the center of your front bumper. Jack the truck up 1 inch and turn the tires. just dont sit in the truck when you do it, cus that will change the height obviously. Then youll know if you need 1 inch, 1/2 inch, or 2 inches. Keep in mind you want to go slightly more than necessary or when your cornering the truck will lean into your tires.
