pinion angle shims w/ new rear leaves?

I'm wanting to get some rear leaves that will raise the back of the truck 2" and lose the factory blocks... so about a 4-4.5" lift spring, right? anyone know what degree shims I'm going to need? thanks, Forrest

truck is a quad/short 2nd gen 4x4

1 or 2 degrees should do for a 2" lift.

am I safe in assuming that the factory blocks do not have any angle to them?
