Default Leveling + Body lift help.

I was wondering if I buy a 2.5" leveling kit and and a 3" body lift how high the top of the fenders will be. I dont want any trouble with the police and was hoping someone could give me some measurements and/or pictures of theirs. Plus i want to see what size tires and rims I can fit on there and still be legal..

it took me about 12 hours total for both with one other person. Its pretty easy we took alot of breaks for food and beer. The directions that came with the kit were pretty dam good. My measurements from the fender to ground are 3' 6" in the front and 3' 6 1/2" in the back with stock 20" tires.

If anything I would get the 6" lift kit from Rough Country for $900 that comes with the cross member drop or the CST 7" lift ($1200 I think) and then go with a PA 3" body lift.
