Rear lift Q

The common question........blocks or AAL for a slight rear lift. My '13 DC 2.7 is now 1.75"-2" lifted in the front with 5100s. As I drive the truck 500 miles/week, I will be using the stock 245/75/16 Dunlops 90% of the time. I have an extra set of rims and plan to put 265/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja STZs on for when I want to do some exploring. So, I need the truck to look OK with the stock size tires. It now has a negative 1" rake now. Since I do use the truck for occasional Home Depot runs and very infrequently tow a trailer, I'd like a slight rake. So with a target of 1-1.5" in the rear I am thinking AAL. The ICON AAL progressive kit is a 3 leaf pack. Could I remove 1 of the leafs if the lift is too high? I have a 2 & 1 rear leaf pack. Does this matter?

Thanks for the input

 

The stock 2+1 leaf pack is shitty at best unfortunately. That stated an AAL will be the best as it will give you some more spring rate.

Grab the wheelers 3 leaf AAL, its cheaper but essentially identical to the icon.

 

Or the HeadStrong Off Road version which is the same and will ship for free

Do not use blocks, they cause axle wrap. The 3 leaf AAL will help with the crappy stock springs and make the truck ride better.

Here are pics of my truck with the 1.5" 3 leaf AAL rear and a 2" front lift with 265/70/R17s:
