Default Thoughts on 3" rear block with fox level

New to the forum- but an avid, self-certified garage mechanic. I am installing 3" rear blocks to replace my 1 1/4" factory blocks. Thoughts on the current look and whether anyone thinks the 3" is over kill? I measured and my fenders sit 1 3/4" lower in the rear due to my dual reservoir rear shocks, so theoretically this will even the fender height, but I'm wondering about the overall raise to the rear. In need of reassurance if anyone can share their similar setup (picture) or talk me off the ledge!

You're only raising the truck about 1.5" from stock. I don't like an empty truck that sits level. They are supposed to have a bit of rake so they sit level when loaded or towing.

That was my initial intention for wanting the block. I didn't want to stiffen up my rear with an AAL. The boat trailer doesn't like a sag in the rear!

Anyone have pictures of their setup with 2.5-3" suspense lift and 3" rear blocks on a 2010-14? saw other threads on it but none seemed representative of the look I was going for.

Here's mine with Fox 2.0 level and 3" rear blocks. I had a slight rear rake before the blocks. The truck is on a slight incline which exaggerates the front rake.
