People, for some reason, like to spend extra money in the level kits. I bought this one and it has worked perfectly for the last 27k miles. Not sure why other companies charge so much...

I answered you initial question in another thread.
The reasons for different sizes are that some people want their truck set up a specific way or are using it to offset a heavy bumper or other equipment.
In my opinion going over 2.5" with a spacer kit places too much strain on the ball joints and would require aftermarket upper A arms and ball joints. You can go 2.75" with a coil over shock as it affects the suspension differently.
Going higher without a lift kit will cause more issues. If you want more than 2.5", go with a complete and well equipped lift kit.

Looks great! Now I know what mine will look like. What brand leveling kit did you mount? Now you need a set of wheel well liners for the rear.
