Lift ? what size bj spacer and block?

I just picked up a 1991 toyota pickup,it currently has a 2" bodylift and 33" street tires but it slightly rubs at full lock.i am getting mud tires soon and was looking at ball joint spacer kits and blocks on ebay and wanted some opinions and suggetions.I want to know what size bj spacer and block to use without cranking the torsion bars up to much but keeping the ride height even.the reason i ask is cause i had a jeep cherokee and i installed a 1" shackle in the rear and a 1.5" coil spacer up front and for some reason it sat a little higher in the rear and i dont want my truck to look like that

only reason i was debating the add a leaf is cause i had them on my jeep and it rode rough unless i had a trailer hooked up and im afraid with the truck being light in the rear that it will be even worse please correct me if im wrong

oh no doubt it will ride rough, but you were asking for a lift suggestion, not a quality ride blocks ride like poo poo too though.

i'd just beat your pinch weld in.

the truck need new shocks anyway so i figured it wouldnt be a big deal to get another inch or two at the same time,i already put 4.88 gears in the rear so i can get up the pa hills but i still need to do the front.i traded my trans am for the truck + $ so i have some $ to play with.i really appreciate the suggestions even though im not big on the hammer method

A 1-2" block will ride nearly identical to stock (slightly more axle wrap under hard acceleration) and definitely not as rough as an AAL.

I used a pair of 6 inch shackels (1.25 inches of lift) with the stock springs and it rides great
