Default 2.5" Level Kit, What Size Rear Blocks?

Long story short, Installed my 2" level kit last weekend, Got my 35's installed and i have a slight rub when i go up inclines when turning and also took it out in the desert and i have a slight rub when going up some small hills. At full lock on level ground i have no rub. Can't figure out what its rubbing on. Anyhow, I just ordered 2.5" spacers, Too make it perfectly level what size rear block will i need? I don't need a rake as i never tow.
Thanks!

My son has a 2" AS front, and 3" rear blocks, and he has a just a slight rake, so I would think you will be quite pleased with the 3" block if you are going with 2 1/2" spacers.

Stock blocks are a little under 1.5" ... more like 1-3/8" ... so if you stacked them, you've got about a 2.75" block in the rear ... give or take a hair.

Agreed!
Friendly advice to the OP: Try NOT to stack the blocks. .... Just go with a 1 piece block since your replacing it anyways!

I just looked in the box and it was actually a 3" block, they did in fact take the old one off.

Cool!...it's just better.
I know that a couple companies (Rough country & skyjacker are just two off the top of my head), that still stack blocks in the back, but it's just better with a 1 piece. it's being changed out anyways.

It looks like I'll have to take some measurements. Right now with my 2" spacers and my 35's the truck is perfectly level. After I get the 2.5" spacers on, I'll measure and see how much I need. I'm hoping its not too bad and i can leave it alone. But we will see.
Thanks all!,
