Default rear lift blocks?

recently put a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my truck and it sits a little bit front high, i want to put about an additional 1-1 1/2 inches of height on the back to make it sit a little better. i know the stock rear blocks in the 2500s is 4.5inches tall by 3 inches wide but does anyone know where i can find about a 6 inch block for the rear to replace the stock ones with? i don't really want to stack blocks

yeah stacking blocks is baaaaad...with that being said the only block ide use that big is one thats tied into traction bars..i cant remember the name....there meant for lifted trucks that want to use the stock springs for towing still...and not have giant death blocks and axle wrap...ill search youtube for the video...

edit:

didint take long

AAL is add-a-leafs, which is basically adding a helper spring to the leaves, i can only find aal in 2 or 3 inches though which would pretty much ruin the point of the leveling kit
