Default Question about front level and back blocks

Hey guys just a quick questions. I measured my front end and it's about 1" lower than the backs. So if I wanted to add a 2inch level. Now my back end would be lower. Meaning I would have to get a 2-3 inch back block right?

Want to fit 33 inch tires with 14+ offset btw

First truck so still new to all of this.

I just put 285/70 tire on 17x9 wheels with +12 offset. No lift. No rubbing. I have the 3" rancho kit which came with front pucks and rear blocks to lift the whole truck. I have not installed it yet.dont really know if I will. I kind of like the way it looks.

Assuming yours is a 4x4, add a 2" lift in the front, replace the rear block with a 3" block. At least that is what the dealer is doing in my area for those that want to run 33's.

I think that's the plan. Auto springs for the front, and what's a reputable brand for the back?

Auto Spring is where I bought my 3" blocks.

I did 2'' front coilovers and was just fine with my 305/55/20s (on 20x9 +18 wheels). It is a tight fight though at max turn. Decided to swap a 3'' rear block to get some rake back, but wasn't needed for clearance though.

I doubt the front is only 1" lower, unless its a 2wd. EVERY truck(4x4) I measured on the dealer lot was 2 3/4" +- 1/4". Ground straight up center of wheel to bottom of fender.
