ProComp Lift question

Yea I was just wondering if a ProComp lift is going to effect that way my truck looks with the 3.5 inch blocks in the rear verse the 4 inch blocks by skyjacker or anyone else

I don't wanna buy a lift and not like it because it's making my truck sit unleveled if that makes any sense

Also if you would recommend 4wheelonline.com as a good place to buy my lift from.

forgot to mention 94 pickup extended cab DLX 3.0 V6 22re

I suggest skipping the block option and going for new springs. Blocks allow the axle to 'wrap' the spring up and can cause the u-joint to experience unnatural angles and excessive wear- unless you are also installing 'traction', 'torque' or 'ladder' bars or whatever people choose to call the link from the axle up to the frame to prevent the axle from rotating.

3.5 ½" inch blocks seem rather smallish...I would go for at least 8-10 inch blocks for extra ride height

I have blocks in my rear but I wish I had springs because the blocks with the traction bars severely limit my flex. Also, how do you have a 3.0 and 22RE?

Here is all the rear flex that I get and the back is a good 3-4 inches off the ground:
