Default What should I be looking for in rear lift block kits?

I'm needing to lift the back of my truck up and when looking for blocks I found that a 2" lift block can range from $50 to $150. Is there any particular reason why. What should I be looking for or staying away from in lift blocks? Thanks

I had blocks from Autozone on mine at one time. You can also use lift shackles though

I need to raise the rear of my truck up between 2" to 2.5". So should I look for a 2" lift shackle if I want to raise it the 2" and is that all I'll need is just the shackle? Can you provide a name or a link to a company that sells them, I'd appreciate it. My trucks a 02" 1500 2wd

I've got a set blocks that came with my Rancho lift kit been on the back of mine for over seven years now with a good bit of towing and off-road use. No issues. Have installed a few sets of blocks from Autozone on a few trucks as well and have never had a problem with them either...
