basically see how much you are off then just add that to the back...so the back is 1 inch lower and you have a 2 inch block in the back then put a 3 inch block...done deal....I added a 3/4" rake to mine as I like to be atleast level or with a tad bit of rake.

I have a 2" leveling kit, but I wanted a little rake. Now I have a canopy and keep some gear in back so it helps to regain some height in back. I installed autospring 3" blocks.
I would not buy them again as they do not have tabs for the bump stops, and some have reported cracks in their blocks. Instead I would buy readylift 3" blocks.

Before the canopy, with the 3" blocks. (ground is sloped but you get the idea)
