This should answer your question. I enquired about a 2" body lift as this is the max allowable in AUS. 3" is available But I personally think it is too high.

Not really, the issue is the stock body mount bolts/studs stick out over 1.5" from the
body mount bushings. With the 3" kit, we use a bolt extension 3" long and that has a 1.5"
deep threaded recess that screws on those studs and then has a section of threads screwed
into the other end ~1.5" with 1.5" of exposed thread. With a 2" lift, you would have 1/2"
or less of room to thread that end into so it would likely not hold very well. The 1-3/8"
blocks fit onto those extra long studs without needing an extension. Thus the reason for
the two existing lift heights.
