Why not just a Performance Accessories body lift for 3"

Or you can get some 3" spindles to raise the front.

The good thing about a BL is that you wont mess with your suspension meaning you wont need a alignment and it will still keep the same comfortable ride. If you play with the suspension it will ride more rough

how hard is it to put a body lift on? if i just wanna do a 3in? how much? and do i need a leveling kit then put on the body lift or just put blocks in front and back. i dont wanna go more than three cause i dont like how you can see the undercarage with like a 6 in body lift or so.

Lots of us have done are own BL's. I did mine by myself. They cost about 350+. I have some brand new gap guards for sale if you want them.

You can do a BL and then spindles and blocks or the other way around. That part does not matter.

boo on the bl! it only rides ruff if you have 24s with AT tires and alot of suspension! Just messin weed! don't take it seriously. Go with a KORE or carlil I think. Kore is about 3" and gives a great ride. Oh just be ready to drop some coin on it!
