1.5-2" is about the limit before you have to deal with axle drop brackets and sometimes even different adjustment shims for the balljoints. In other words you can put leveling springs or a leveling kit under the front and usually still get everything to come into alignment but beyond that it gets tricky. The OEM alignment adjustment doesn't really give you much to play with and the setup rolls the adjustment out of caster and into camber or vice versa depending upon which direction you need to adjust things.

Superlift makes a couple different sets of bushings. You may check with them or a supplier to see if any will get you more adjustment but I doubt it. It doesn't take much change in spring length to throw the camber all out of whack on the full-size trucks.
