Rear blocks

Hey guys, havin a hard time figuring out what to do with the rear of my truck. I've got a rough country 6" suspension with fox coilovers in the front and the standard 5.5 inch blocks in the rear. I'm running 37x13.5 (you can go to my page for exact sizing) and I'm about to put on Frontier front and rear replacement bumpers. I AM NOT a fan of trucks sitting lower in the front or even perfectly level for that matter, don't know why so don't ask hahaha, so I feel like I wanna put a 3-4 inch block in the rear to compensate for the heavy *** front bumper. Any ideas or advice??

You like the truck to look as though its sagging? If you haul or tow, I wouldn't personally do that. But it's your truck.

Not really sagging. I've had bumpers before and o know how much they bring the front end down so I'm trying to compensate for the weight

Blocks are cheap and easy to swap. You should install the bumper, take measurements before and after (always from center of wheel to wheel well arch). At that point you'll know exactly where you are and what you want to do.

And I know it technically not sagging when you make the front higher than the rear, but it looks that way to most people. A little rake is great for towing and hauling.
