Looking for 1" rear blocks

Anyone know where I could score some 3/4" to 1" rear lift blocks? something easy to stuff under the existing block?
Ive got a 3" lift in the front, now I need to raise the back a tiny bit to level it out.
Is this something I could fab myself with some thick alum or steel bar stock? Im assuming you need a slight angle to keep the pinion angle right.

I had the same issue after doing the leveling kit.When you parked the truck it looked nose high at the times and all I did was add the SkyJacker D25 coils.So after months of griping about it I went and added a leaf to my rear set of springs which placed the rear back a tad higher than the front and improved the way the truck looked a bunch.Total cost for that was just over $150 with longer u bolts for the rear.......Andy

What I did on my truck was got some 1" thick 2.5" wide steel.

Drilled a hole in the center and got a new spring pack center pin. Bolt the bolt into the spring pack, and than reinstall the stock block.

I'm not sure if the factory U bolts are long enough, I had some made a while back so they were plenty long.

Off Road Design. They make zero-rate add-a-leaves which is exactly what your looking for. http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/Zero%20Rates.htm

That works too. I think I paid $15 for my setup, got all of it at a spring shop.
