The truck has 90k on it, so eventually I will get new shocks, but their still good now. I am thinking 2" leveling spacers front, but I guess 3" blocks rear, but can't seem to find where to purchase these anywhere?

At 90k, if your shocks are original, I'd say they're not doing much.

Hey I realized I ordered exactly from your links, and order the 2.5" front from the link. You think it will just level out on my truck?? Also everything I see about the rear blocks says its for "4WD", should I be worried about the the rear blocks not fitting on a 2WD???

Doesn't matter if it says 2wd or 4wd. The blocks are the same and will fit either truck. There's no difference in the rear end of these trucks except that 4wd come with a factory block and 2wd do not.

2.5" up front and 3" in the back will raise you up quite a bit. You'll have a tiny bit of rake though. 1/2" to 1". Which is good for towing and hauling.

Well i dont want any issues with alignment, but it looks like most can still align just fine with this setup. Hopefully i will go good.

You should be fine. 2.5" in the front is the max you should go anyway. The 3" block in the rear won't affect alignment or anything for that matter.

It's REALLY easy. Any place should be able to do it. Just make sure you get an alignment after.

I've swapped rear blocks and front spacers in the truck in the driveway many times.
