look at my sig ... 1.5" AS kit up front, 2" block in the back ... 34.2" tall tires (stock width).
the only difference in leveling the '14's is how the strut mounts to the lower control arm, but that has nothing to do with the spacer and how it works on top of the strut. It just makes the installation of the spacer a little more difficult.

I did the rear block because I only had about 1.75" of factory rake (where a LOT of people have about 2.25" or even 2.5") ... and when I did the 1.5" kit, it was too close to being perfectly level, and I wanted to keep a little rake.
Factory rear blocks on the FX4 are 1 3/8" thick, so I put in the 2" blocks to replace them and that got me back to about 1/2" of rake, maybe about 5/8" ...
You need to measure your rake and see what you have ... and your best bet is to do the front first and then re-measure to see if you want/need rear blocks to finish the look ...

Wiggum your truck looks just right. I did a similar procedure on my 07 FX4, the front end was already done when I bought the truck (i guess with a 2.5") and it was 1/8 to 1/4" higher than the rear. The readylift block added close to 1" for me, I actually want an AAL also. Factory wheels and taller tires is what I like also, gets good hwy mpg, too.
