Depends how much drop you want. Changin shackles will give you depending on which ones you buy 1-2"s of drop, some do 3"s. Depending on your block size removing them will give you another 1-2"s of drop

Some people are big, and need a big vehicle. Some people need to haul stuff, and don't want to go smash up their nearly new truck in the mud. Some places it snows. Some people don't drive over mountains, or through rock quarries, but do drive on ice. Some people should shut the **** up and stop being know it all high-horse douche-B idiots.
Anyway, measure from the top of the tire to the top of the wheel well on both the front and back, and take note of the difference (2" on my truck.) Measure the rear blocks, (I believe mine are 2" also.) If they're the same, removing the blocks would make it level.

I removed the blocks and it dropped the back approx. 1.5" (Blocks are 1.25"). Not sure how that equated to 1.5" but doing the measuring the back was .5" higher than the front. Not sure if was this was the reason but I did develop a pinion leak (fixed today under warranty).
