Rear blocks question?

hello all,
so I installed the AS 2.5 kit this past weekend and put a set of 315/70/17 BFG all terrains on the truck. however, now looking at it I think I need to raise the rear a little bit.

my question is this, can I just put a set of the 3" blocks from auto zone on the back? I know the main difference is that those are made from aluminum as opposed to some of the other kits out there.

normally I would go ahead and get the AS rear lift kit but I have some issues where it would be very nice to get this done before the weekend.

thanks all!

The autozone blocks are likely 2.5" wide and only have one pin. Our trucks use 3" wide blocks with two pins. Also, I doubt auto zone has the right
u-bolts. I'm betting you will have to order your blocks.

03rangerkid I think the same thing only with the 2" kit and my stock block is like 1.5" if I remember right. I would like a 2" rear block to give it that 1/2" rack.
