Wait until you drop the front. I thought the same thing until I dropped the front then the back looked just right *for me*.

What kind of vehicle is this? I'm assuming you have leave springs since you are asking about blocks. I honestly wouldn't go with a lowering block as they have a tendency to cause axle wrap with can cause LOTS of problems down the road. A Shackle or Hanger would be your best bet to get the truck closer to the ground.

YOu could actually do some BAGS fairly cheap. It will give you a much better ride. Simply replace the coil spring with a bag. You will need a new panhard bar for about 150 bux. There's really no need for a compressor unless you want to adjust the ride height all the time. You can do that setup for under 500 bux if you shop right.

Put a block in the rear. Being a coil truck, there is no issue with spring wrap, just watch the scrub line.
