https://www.uswheeladapters.com/ I think I paid 80 or more a piece. I love the way it looks. It reminds you of a 1998 chevy 2500 4x4 front end. How the front tires are a wider stance than the rear. "I only did the front" Hey good luck. The minimum is 1" I'm pretty sure.

I purchased the kit (first kit on that page) from these guys but through eBay. It is roughly 2.7" supposedly. Gave me close to 3 inches but didn't give me the nose up look (as you can see in the pictures).
It might have been more mental but it did seem like I lost some power and the tranny seems to shift later. As for MPG, I have not had them long enough to tell. I only drive about 5,000 or 6,000 miles a year. PLUS, I just installed a DP Tuner, which easily took care of any power loss.
I did not need longer shocks as the lower shock mount is actually on the plate located on the top side of the springs, so that distance did not change.

i have this same kit. it WILL NOT give you anything over 2 inches. the mini spring pack is just (4) 1/2 inch plates that get bolted to your existing springs. NO MORE THAN 2 INCHES is possible unless the seller has changed this kit to include more plates. I tried to contact seller and tell him he needs to changes his listings. The spring pack ACTS like a spacer. Nothing else. there is no physical way a small stack of plates 2 inch in thickness can give 3 inches in lift, just not going to happen. Ride quality is the same, and stock shocks are reused.

running 35" Toyo MT's.

My bad, you are correct. I upgraded to the 315s (from 285s) at the same time as installing the leveling kit. That combination lifted the front 3 inches.
Sorry for the misinformation.
EDIT: And I notice no difference in the ride quality.

PS. I meant to tell you that is a good looking truck you got!! I had my heart set on a black truck when I bought mine 4 years ago, but ended up with red. I can't complain, I'm a NC STATE grad, so it all worked out.

Sorry if I came across as sounding critical, not my intent. I was expecting a little more lift when I ordered the kit. When I opened it up, I thought "How is this going to give me 2.7?" You are correct in that after going up to 35" there was a net effect of 3" lift. Are you still using stock shocks. I wanted to upgrade to the Bilsteins (the silver ones) but with the way the shocks mount on top, the shock length doesn't change up front. Therefore, you have to use stock lenght shocks, and as far as I know, bilstein doesn't have them in the zinc in stock lengths. I called bilstein, and they said they had a shock, that is actually part of a dual shock set up, that could be made to work, but I'd have to change or modify something, (if i remember correctly) to make it work.

It is actually "True Blue Metallic" I believe. A very dark blue.
Also, I installed ProComp ES9000s when I first got the truck. I pulled the stocks off and a couple of them were completely shot, no spring back. The new ones seem to do pretty well.
