Default Will this look good?

So I have an 06 xl 2wd with a 2.5in leveling kit. I want to add either a 2in aal or a 2 in block to raise the back. Would this look bad? And how bad will the nose down be? Should I switch it to a 3in up front. I've read a 3in won't cause to much wear and tear on a 2wd, any truth to that? Thanks

i put an 1.5in block in the rear on mine and it still sits almost level with the back just a little bit higher then the front...it depends on what look your going for..

Honestly i think you are high enough in the front, i would never consider taking out a 2.5 and swapping out a 3 just for a half inch. Plus the added stress on components and yet again another alignment. Have you considered a lift shackle? They are extremely easy to install and doesn't require new U-bolts as i would assume a block kit would require. Also, you don't want to go to much higher with the back, it would defeat the purpose of the leveling kit. Our trucks look best with a little higher in the back, but not as extreme as it was stock, an inch higher in the back then front is a great look. Have you measured the difference?
