need small lift in the rear, blocks okay??

Okay I got some Pro Comp 46 inches in the rear and its about 1.5 inches lower than the front. Good ideal to use a block back there? Shackle is at 7 inches eye to eye that help with 1 inch lift. That ideal is maxed...But need another 1.5 inches. Hate to go AAL? But not sure if it will work with after market springs?? Please do input your thoughts..

x2, blocks are one option:

Realize you'll likely need longer u-bolts and/or a u-bolt flip kit to install them.

Or if you have your old springs, scavenge them for your additional leaves. Adding a few leaves of similar thickness and arch to what you have in there is a good way to get some extra lift without making the springs too stiff (plus is costs almost nothing):
