Default Blocks in Rear

I am thinking about leveling and possibly 2in blocks in the rear. Is this going to give me the gaps of a body lift? Where do the blocks go? I am new to the whole lift thing.

Ha what an *******. No I help you out. If you look where your axel is therenis a u- bolt that goes around it. Just jack your truck remove the u-bolt and put a 2 inch block in there. Then just put the u- bolt back whrere it was. Let me know how it looks cause I might want to do it to mine.

A leveling kit and blocks is the way to go, and no you won't get gaps like a body lift.
