Levaling Kit

I purchaced a 3" leveling spacers kit form 4Wheelfabrication off of ebay with the intentions of putting the kit on as soon as I purchaced it. The sent me a 2" and 3" spacer. I emailed them and they told be they would fix the problem. I'm having secand thoughts about putting on the 3" and might just go with the 2". I'm running 305\70R16 tires on stock wheels and don't have any other steering or suspension mods. What would you folks recomend the 2 or the 3 and if the 3 do I need to do any mods.

2 inch kit you can still run your stock shocks if you want I think a 3 " kit will not look right a little taller in front than back unless you have a plow on the front to add extra weight??

Would there be any steering mods, or trac bar mods need to be done with a 2" or 3" leveling kit? I've heard you can really mees the trac bar up and some other things and should consider getting some other stuff done. Anyone know about this?

I think more than 2" is asking for potential problems.
With 2" you can use factory Track Bar and factory shocks... but adding Bilsteins 2" over shocks makes a big difference!

I was told that 2" is safe, 3" you need shocks and potential adjustable track bar. 2" levels....3 " gives pre-runner look.

^+1... 3" puts a lot of stress on stock parts.
