Wish I would have taken measurements to actually know how much the front came up, but here is a before and after.

That picture was just the front. But I'm not sure if the 1500hd sat higher stock or not. Those are also only 265/75/16 tires.

I'm guessing 2" in back will put it about an inch higher than the front. But that's just a guess. It's it 2" lift in the back or a 2" block. You may already have a1" block from the factory that you will replace. Therefore if your getting a 2" block it will only raise the back 1"

it supposed to be a 2 inch block but everyone so far is saying that your not going to get the whole 3 inches in the front

3 inches up front may be possible but your angles would be terrible. I'll crank down my stock keys and get some measurements before I install my RC keys and then crank to see how much I'm comfortable with.

I'm not sure. I haven't seen any easy fixes simply because even if you don't break CVs every single wearable part under your front end wears faster.

When getting a 6 inch lift kit get one that is a full 6 inch differential drop so that way if you wanna go taller you can crank the bars an inch or two.
