Go with 1.5' blocks and split the difference. Thats what I did with no problems to date.

Did you buy 1.5's? Here I only have the choice of 1, 2, or 3. No aftermarket shocks for the rears at all? GRRRRRRRRR!

Hey. Im running 1" blocks. I used to run 2" blocks. I switched to 1" blocks because the stock shocks worked with the 2" blocks, but they were kinda rough. BUT, now you can buy longer rear shocks for our trucks, from Rough Country, that will work perfect with 2" blocks. They are on the roughcountry.com website, under the leveling kit for our trucks, but they are not listed for purchase by themselves, without the kit, so to get them you need to call roughcountry and order them.

I would still be running the 2" blocks if the shocks were available back when my 2" blocks were in, now I wont bother.

i'm running the 2" blocks. i like the way they look. I overloaded the truck though, and instead of riding on the spring stops, i thing it bent the springs a little. never noticed any roughness.
