Nope. You will need to deal with all of the stuff you listed. You can go up to 3" without having to address those. Beyond that, and yep, you need it.

I am not a fan of blocks for the rear. Especially on our trucks, that ALREADY HAVE a block back there..... stacking blocks has always been considered a major no-no since way back when. Why pretty much all the lift manufacturers are now doing it, is a mystery to me.
