Yup, need to know whether your 4x4 or 4x2.

The previous owners just blocked it to raise it up but I'm wanting to do away with those and put a legit kit on it

Since your 4x4 the only leveling options you have would be to crank your factory torsion keys until the truck is level, and then go get an alignment. If you can turn a wrench and have a spare few hours, all it'll cost you is the alignment. If not figure an hour or two for labor.

However, if the previous owner replaced the factory block in the rear with a bigger one since you said he added blocks, you may need to get a smaller one for the truck to actually be level.

Otherwise your options are basically add a body lift or get a full suspension lift.

I assume only rear blocks? That really is a "legit" way to lift the rear unless you do an add-a-leaf. You have torsion bars in the front, and you should just crank those, it's free (and better) plus alignment.
