I havnt either, but to awnser your question Rough Country, skyjacker, and tough country all make great lift kits. But I agree, there are 2.5 and 4inch and on up, but I have never seen a 3. Hope this helps.

Your best route is getting a leveling kit don't use a lift because your not trying to lift it that high
