ya i know most of them sit lower in the front but with my sport/offroad packages i think mine are close to being level if not their within an inch i'd say you cant tell by looking at it that the front is any lower and im not sure how to measure. The body lifts are like $200-300 for these and a suspension lift is in the low $400 so if i was going to do a lift like that i'd save up and get a 3' susp.

RE: Coil Spacer
If you have an offroad ram then a 3" lift kit won't get you anywhere. You need a 5" lift kit just to lift your truck 2".
As far as the rear there is a good chance it will end up short if you get new springs. again the factory 2" rule.Blocks will raise the correct amount.Add-a-leaf will be questionable and might need a small spacer/block to even. Same rule for the shocks....
