Yup just get a 2 or 3 in block for the rear, and make sure you get new longer u bolts. You could also get a add-a-leaf for about 1 1/2 to 2in.
I have both a 2in block and add a leaf on my 2x4.
Just keep in mind the back of your truck will set a lot higher than the front. You may want a coil spring spacer to lift the front another 1 1/2in.

Hey I also noticed that there is two bolts or studs through the factory spacer, what does that do? can I eleminate them?I am doing two inch leveling kit to the front at the same time. Does the factory steel two inch spacer off the 4x4 have the holes for the studs? or can I just make up something? Thanks again for your help..
