2" vs 4" blocks

i was wondering if anyone happened to have a comparison shot of a 2wd truck with 2" and 4" blocks

i would like to swap to 4" blocks but i am wondering how much of a difference it will really make, and if i should get some 6" blocks like these:
FORD F250 F350 SUPERDUTY BLOCK KIT-BULLET PROOF BLOCKS- | eBay

i would really prefer pics with a stock height front end if possible just for comparison.
and this is for a 2wd truck.

opinions?

Are you just wanting more rake? With a 4" and 6" block it's going to sit pretty high in the rear.

lol, no i am getting some 2" blocks for the front.
the main reason is that i want some taller tires.
i'd like 285-70 to fit if possible.
i like the rake i have now but the 6" block and a 4" factory block are basically the same price

Blocks in the front are unsafe and a bad idea. If you want to lift the front, then buy a proper leveling or lift kit, but what's the point in putting larger tires on a 2wd?

not blocks, sorry, wrong word. spring spacers. many have done it.
clearance for stuff and for looks.
i probably wont do it after all though, because after looking at it, my truck seems to be one of those that will require a lot of grinding to get the alignment right...
oh well.
