Default Leveling kit question

So I ordered an auto springs 2" leveling kit and installed it yesterday, and got it aligned today. It looked level after the install, but not after the alignment. The front is sitting at 39 5/8" from ground to wheel well, and the rear is 38 1/4". Seems to me like a little more then a "2 inch level". I don't mind how high the front is now, but I need to get some of the factory rake back. Do they sell the factory style rear block with the bump stop bar and all, just in a taller height? Because I don't want to stack blocks.

Give it a week, your springs need to settle in again. I gained 3 inches with my 2.5 kit on my '91 and it's finally set back down to a perfect 2.5 inches

If that don't work you can add a leaf to the back to get some rake back. Mine is 2.5 level and AAL on the back.

I remember reading somewhere that the front wheel arch top is slightly higher than the rear?
