AAL or block kit?

Okay I have finally decided to lift my rear a bit, but I can't decide how.
Has anybody actually used either of these kits from autospring on their 09/10?

Are the blocks tapered? In the pics they look rectangular, and I don't want my pinion angle to be off. Do the blocks provide 1 3/8" of lift (3"-1 5/8")? The 09 blocks don't look like they measure 1 5/8".

Did autospring actually change the aal for 09? The 09s have longer leafs, so I would think an 08 leaf would be too short. Did your ride change noticeably?

Okay I just measured. My factory blocks appear to be 1-1/4". I have the 4 leaf pack as opposed to the 3 leaf, so I wonder if I have shorter blocks to compensate for the extra leaf.
