3" lift kit ???

ok everyone, after several months of debating this issue, i think i have my mind made up to lift my 99f250 sd, 4x4, 5.4L. i want to run a 33x12.5 tire, and no larger so i wont have an issue with the stock 3.73 gears. i know that they will fit on the rear easily, and in the front with the 2" leveling kit. right now i have the stock rear blocks that are about 2 3/4". now my question.... if i go to the 4" rear block, and raise the front an extra 1" to compensate, would that look stupid for a 33" tire? does anyone have any pics of such a combination, or have you even seen one? are there any lifts available in the 3" range? if i just put on a 4" lift, i think it would definately look bad for a 33. what do yall think? thanks in advance !!
