Default leveling kit

If I get this kit.. http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...con/32903.htmljust to level out the truck..will it look stupid without a body lift too? And is 2" enough to level the truck or are there 3" kits?

There are 2 and there are 2 1/2 inch kits. and a 3" body list with a 2" level looks great. THere are actually 2-3 people on here that have that exact set up. Looks good. check my post out and u can see my before and after of my leveling kit

I liked the look of the rear being higher then the front! That way when I haul something heavy it doesn't look like it is dragging @$$! So I went with a 2 1/2" leveling kit and 3" rear add-a-leaf and a 3" body lift! Now that I have put some miles on it since the install of the add-a-leaf, the rear end has settled it a little and now I really like the way it looks!

Many people add the leveling keys and just stop right there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing the level kit for now, then ifyou decide you want to go higher, adding a body lift later.
As a matter of fact, if I were to do both, I'd get the level kit first. I hate the "always going downhill" look, and the body kit alone will not correct that...

the leveling kit and the 3" body lift are the way to go.

I just installed a kit from Fat Bob's last weekend. This kit is adjustable between 2-3 inches and there is enough adjustability to level the truck and then some. It does not look stupid at all - it looks awesome!
