I would not ignore warnings regarding steering geometry, pinion, and possibly other drivetrain alignment issues and the extra strain you will place on some of the components with heavier tires and so forth.
Mike's input about the shifting of the front and rear differentials was a bit of a surprise, but I am sure he know what he is talking about.
A higher center of gravity can get you before you realize it in off-road conditions especially at any speed above crawling. They can flip before you realize it is happening and all you can do is hang on or jump free.
Remember, Gravity Always Wins. and there is no freeze frame, so proceed carefully.
Or what the hell, go with reckless abandon, you're still young. You may recuperate from a wild few moments.............
Just don't do high speed lane changes until you get used to it.........

figured i'd help searchers and bring this thread full circle....
after the install the truck is quite level front to rear...the pic below has a level on the passenger side rain gutter. with a heavy bumper, a 1/2" spacer would probably be a better bet.
this thread has details on the install

i disconnected the sways when i went to OME 3", rode very well for the 10k miles. Ive since reinstalled the sways and there is appreciably less body roll.
Sorry i didnt chime in earlier but i found that the 751/763s didnt give me a full 3", i have winch/bumper up front and will be doing dual batteries and some other stuff and probably got 2.5" inches or so(my springs were sagging so i was 4+ inches, but they also had 90k miles on them). In the rear i am moving towards rear bumper and already have a winch in there and carry around about a hundred pounds of gear at all time + power converter + air compressor.
The ride has not been harsh at all.

In your other photos it looks nose high, if anything.
