Default which is easier/cheaper?

Hey guys, just ordered my 3" HBS front spacer, and im also going to order something for the rear later this week. i was originally looking for a 3" rear block to replace my oem 2" block. but looking around, those blocks dont seem to be cheap. lol. so i was wondering if anyone knows where to get a 3" block for less then $150-200. or the other option i was considering was maybe a AAL. how much do those run normally? and about how much lift do they add? seems to be about 1-1.5". but all im looking for is just the extra inch, so that way i can still have bout a .5" of rake. so any input will be great!

How bout these? would they work just fine? i know they dont look like oem blocks... but im either gonna get these or if anybody says different ill probably just get the AAL.

AAL would be the best way to go...bigger blocks can cause axle wrap
