You really don't need to buy a leveling kit at all, cranking of the o.e.m torsion bars 2-3 ties can get you to 24" axle nut to bottom of fender to clear 35"s with ease, just need longer shocks.

My Rancho lift came with bump stop extensions... I don't get any nose diving at all. You can also set up the adjustable damping up to around 7 or 8 so even at high speed it will be solid when you brake, then soften it for off-road later.
 
It should be noted that in the H3, the A-arm actually is in contact wtih the bump stop in stock format when it is just sitting. There shouldn't be a huge gap between it and the bump stop.

Rhino has sat on his bump stops on the front while pulling Tanky an H2 out of a snow field with a 45 deg offset. Rhino was anchored by another H2 and an H1. winch is a 10.500lb unit.

I guess they can be trusted, I have a H3 Alpha 2010 running 315-75/16 and all i did was crank the torsion bar to level it.
 
I still have the OEM bump and they are about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch from the A-arm.
 
Never had any problem with them and i still have the OEM shock on all 4 corner.
 
In emergency breaking the nose dive is very minimal.
 
So depending of your use, +++ off roading or +++ highway or street use, your shock can do the job,
 
if you plan to use your H in more extreme condition, it could benefit the newer, longer shocks. 
 
I spend most of my time on highway so the OEM worked fo rme, and they did pretty good off road as many here can testify as i've been to places where the biggest and baddest have been.

I just saw the event and it's kind of far for me, kind of hoping it was an evening thing :( my alpha isn't even armed with rock sliders or arb front bumper ( they tried to over charge me for them here at federal mufflers 1500$+ not including fog light indicators kit or winch) so I just said no.
