I am running the 3" skyjacker. It def lifts the truck. Check out my pictures. I am running Nitto 325 60 18's on 18X10 Weld wheels. I have a friend that runs 33's on 17's with the leveling kit. It works. I like the skyjacker over the leveling kit. I think the kit is around $500 from skyjacker. I have a ton of people ask what I have in mine.

I have the 3" skyjacker body lift & the 2.5" skyjacker leveling kit, One word AWESOME look. However I still have the stock 18 X 7.5 wheels & tires . The ride has not changed 1 bit. Stock tires will pass for now it doesnt look funny I can probably squeeeze on 35" tires but will have to modify the mud flaps in front or just remove them.. I put in the finishing flaps to top off the look instead of seeing the hardware.

With the 3" Skyjacker kit and the 10" wide wheels the tires do grab the fender flare towards the cab. No rubbing on the bumper side at all. The fender flares are only attached by some plastic push pins so the first time it grabs, it will pull the push pin out. It did not break the flare. I trimmed the portion of the fender flare inside the wheel well and then screwed the flare to the bottom of the fender. When you get them put on, the place to trim will be evident. It certainly does not effect the look of the flare and the flare is soft enough plastic to cut with a razor knife. Once you trim the flare the only time it will rub is if you have the wheels locked to one side or the other and flex the suspension REALLY hard. The tire will rub the inner fender slightly. I tied the inner fender back just a hair and this has not happened again.
I think the 3" kit gives the truck a really cool look. I get a ton of comments.

I had the skyjacker 3" kit installed about 10 days ago and when I go over a speed bump I get a clucking sound coming from both sides of the front end. Sounds like the upper control arms could be hitting the coils. Does anyone else experience this?

I had a heart to heart talk with the installer and they finally caller Skyjacker for advise, it turns out you need to have the coils installed a certain way and my coils were 180 degrees off. Once they rotated the coils everything worked.
I had my truck off road today and you could not ask for a better system.
