What's wrong with 4" turned down to about 3.5"? A "leveling kit" will get you 2-2.5" but you will have a stiffer ride, and factory angles will not be in check.
I have a cognito 4-6 ntbd turned down as low as it can go. Rides great the height his dam near perfect for my 33s wouldn't do it any other way. I can measure the fender height of you want.
zone makes a 3" lift, we just put one on a friends truck a couple months ago. It uses new UCA's, small diff spacers, and keys. We threw in a small block in the back for a little rake as well. So far he hasn't had any trouble with it. Not sure what he paid for it tho.
What do your angles look like? I'm doing the same lift except on 35"s. I want to go as low as possible and clear the tires.
Flat maybe slightly negative but flat for sure only have a 1.5 block in the rear for a slight rake.
At 4" you will be doing some trimming of the front lower valance, and possibly the rear fender well with a 16x10 and 33"+ tire. Cognito at 4" will clear a 33" on a 9" wheel with 5.0-5.5" BS. There are hundreds of combos that "Will work", but the above is Cognito's standard.
Honestly I'm not familiar with wheel sizes and offsets and whatnot. I want to run a 16 and right now my truck looks stock. I've had the torsion bars turned up to make it level with factory wheels. I thought about keys and shackles or blocks. I want my tires to stick out roughly 1-2" from fender flares. Make it look like it was done in 01 when the truck first was on the street. It's an old truck but she is clean for the age. One of my fav body styles.
