Mine are 23 1/2 with a two inch block and there is only about 1/4 inch showing below the nut. Oops I have lift blocks and leaf springs

best thing is to take the tape measure out to the garage and measure.///if you mock it up with mounting plates with stock plate and hardware see hoew much is sticking out if you've got 2.5 sticking out get those blocks if its less then get smaller blocks
