Default Lifting my 06 ext cab 2wd silverado 1500

I was looking around at a few lift and leveling kits and had a few questions. I was looking at a Zone 3" Body lift. Are there any leveling kits that would work with the zone lift. I was trying to gain another 1.5" or so to the front....If I do end up getting 3" lift in rear and 4.5" in front...keeping my stock wheels..what size tire would fit under there now?

Body lifts to me are a last resort..an 3" shows way too much frame.

Look around for some lift spindles(3" or 4"), get some blocks in the back and you should be sittin like a leveled z71. Then you can add a levelin kit and add-a-leaf to raise it up another 1.5" or so then add a 1.5" body lift instead of a 3" body lift. That shoul net you at 6-7" up front dependin on which spindles you go with and 4" or so out back. And a 33x12.5 would look good under there
