Default Rear Block ?

Recently installed complete set of Bilsteins with the front set at top setting. Wanted to end up with roughly 1" of rake when done to accommodate occasional hauling. Took a bunch measurements and started out with 2.5" of factory rake pre install. Was thinking based on what others have experienced with the fronts set at 2.1" without adding something to the rear the truck would end up level or slightly sagging. To compensate I installed an additional 1.25 block to back totaling 2.5" in blocks. The truck was raised a full 2" up front however the rear has 2" to 2.5" of rake remaining? Figured it would end up slightly over an inch but not 2 full inches on one side and still 2.5" on the passenger side?

Bottom line here is I need a 1.5-1.75" block. Any thoughts on where something like this can be found? Saw some 2wd blocks at 1.5 but most 4wd block are 3" up. What's the difference in a 2wd vs 4wd block?

A block is a block between 2WD and 4WD. They're generally all the same minus those that are tapered or have the bump stop/cow tongue.
