Dodgenitto: Either I am missing something or my eyes are deceitful. You say you've got a 3'' leveling kit up front, 3'' add a leaf in the rear and all around 3'' b/l. Now wouldn't that just be a total of 6'' in front and 6'' in rear? Because your pics make it look level. Despite the answer your truck is still bad ***.

You can't use tow hooks with the bl. Unless you custom fab the mounts.

It took me and a buddy ALL DAY to install the lift. And I'm talking a summer day, not winter. lol

I could squeeze in 37's, but I'm certain they would rub.

Yes, the rear was higher for a while! After hauling a lot of stuff around the add-a-leaf loosened up and settled quite a bit! If I measure from a flat surface my front fender flare is 45 1/4" off the ground and my rear is 47" off the ground.

With just a 3" body lift I doubt you can stuff 37's! if you get a 3" leveling kit and are willing to cut some metal out of your front wheel well you can get it to work! You will have to cut out some between the door and the tire! Big fender flares help hide it!
