Where to get 2.5 or 3" rear block?

I am looking to get some of the rake back into my truck, so I am looking for either a 2.5" or 3" rear block. I know that Auto Spring has a 3" block, but are there any others??

I really don't want to put an AAL in because I don't want to stiffen up the ride that much, unless the AAL's have changed in the past few years. Otherwise I was thinking of maybe doing airbags, both for load capacity and to raise the rear alittle.

So lets hear some thoughts?

Good question. My KR with the 2" A.S. is perfectly level on one side of the truck and the front is actually a 1/4" higher on the other side. I would like a little rake back in it, because I do tow a couple trailers and a boat often in the summer.

I had a skyjacker AAL in the '05 and it did stiffen it up a tad. But with the new truck I still can't believe how nice it rides and I don't want to mess that up. I do not want to stack blocks, and I hate to loose the factory bump stop on the block now. Anybody make a 3" with the bump stop?

I am running the add a leaf along with the heavy duty bilsteins in the rear. The ride may have stiffened a little, but now near as bad as everyone was saying.

Also I thought that an add-a-leaf was suppose to be a smoother ride than adding a block? Do I have this backwards?

Come on, someone must know of someplace to get a bigger rear block.
