lift blocks

Well here it goes today I bought some three inch lift blocks to replace the stock two inchers to lift the rear up just a bit. I get to the truck shop and they sell me these blocks that arent tapered like most and the center holes are bigger than the pins on the leafes. They told me that with the split driveshaft I didnt want the tapered blocks. I not as concerned with the tapered part as I am about the differences in hole and pin size. It seems to me I can throw my wheels out of alignment and wear my tires out quick. Do you guys think this is a problem or do think maybe the U bolts pulled everything straight. Any comments would be great. thanks

I would get the correct ones, also are they steel or aluminium? Aluminium is not a good idea, they will wear out and or crack.
