i'll try to help out as best i can...
i own a 99' and the ride level is about 2 inches higher in the back...
i've heard 2 inches is just a tad too much, more like 1 3/4 will give you the level rake your looking for (that is if its the same as 97+)....
if you can make them yourself, i say go for it --> you might neede longer u-bolts though, and im not exactly sure about the shocks, ive been told yes, and no...
what you might wanna do is start off with 1' blocks and see if thats superfluous, if not, then go with the 2's...

Well I have a 99 r/t and put 2 inch blocks in the back and it is perfect. You dont need new shocks, it doesnt change anything other than shortening down travel. New ubolts are needed with 2inch blocks, but i dont know about with 1inch blocks. Hopefully that helped atleast a little
