Default 3" level 1" rear block

I have an 06 2wd and im running a 2.5" HBS leveling kit right now, rear is bone stock. I know it doesnt sound like much, but from a few pics ive seen, it looks like the 3" level and 1" rear blocks looks significantly better than just a 2.5" level. Anyone got this setup and agree, disagree? And id like to know if itll be level or at least look level to the eye.

A lot of people wouldn't recommend going with the 3 inch leveling kit because it puts the cv shafts at too high of an angle and are much more prone to failure. 2.5 inch is considered safe maximum level.

he's 2wd so no CV's to worry about but it will still make some harsh angles. to answer your question though you probably won't be able to tell much difference.

You could probably save some money and just get someone's old OEM 4wd blocks.
