Here are 3" and 4" steel rear block kits for your truck. These are nice because they're angled to account for proper pinion angle.

What you could do if you wanted the squat is to run the 7.5" lift and add coil spacers (leveling kit) and itll lift the front up more giving you that squat, but it may mess with your alignment just a heads up, i ran this set up with my 2wd screw and i loved it but wore my tires badly

You may have some problems with the front fenders rubbing the tires if you go with a decent amount of squat and 35's. Rear fenders shouldn't be a problem.
Personally I wouldn't go with more than .5-1.5" at the max of squat. I think it makes your truck look like it's gotta take a dump.
Plus the more squatty you go the harder it'll be to properly aim the headlights.
The only time I like a truck that's nose high is when it's been built properly as a pre runner and the truck is nose high for function over form.
I'm not sure of any "vehicle enthusiasts" that would be super excited to see a truck squat like that for no apparent reason either.
