Default Difference between body and level kit

Howdy,
I've recently decided to forget suspending my 98 silverado and go with a body lift. I want it to be leveled though, do i need a leveling kit or does the body lift already level it. I'm looking to put a 3 inch on. Also, with a 3 inch, does the undercarriage show a lot even if i put Westin side step? Any comments or additional help on what i should expect would be great! thanks

It doesn't level it. Picture how it sits now, 3" higher. Crank your stock keys to level it up. And yes the frame will show with the steps because the steps mount on the frame, while the body is bein lifted

Underbody frame can't be hidden with a kit. I'd imagine he's talkin bout gap guards for the bed. Put some nerf bars on it and paint the frame black. Problem solved

Will a 3 inch lift allow for 36 inch tires on my 07 HD?
