I presume you're talking diameter of blocks? I'd say 65mm, because that's what I used.
Go 75 if you can make them fit, but you may find they're too big in some places.
If you're talking height, I'd say stick with a 50mm lift. General consensus seems to be that anything taller gets too complicated (on a Gen 2 - yours may be different.)
Cheers,
Scott

would that be on top of the factory lift? or would that be 50mm on its own.
i think mine has 35mm already, so if i got 50mm then in the end id only gain 15mm right?
i want to do it, but for 15mm its too much work.

You would add the 50mm blocks ontop of the mounts that is already on your truck. Do not take the rubbers off, add block between the large diameter washer and body. So you are adding 50m to factory.

Overkill - with your 2 inch body lift over and above the factory 35, have you had to really chop around the transfer lever?

I had to take my inner boot off. I have yet to rectify the problem but I think grinding away from of the metal under the dash will solve it.
I added two inches on top of the factory one inch.

I haven't chopped anything on the vehicle or removed the innner rubber boot. We put heat on the gear lever and bent it so it clears both rear and most importantly front (get it into low range) areas. The rubber boot does stretch but not enough to pull out of gear. The lever does look like a race track in Germany though, all bends.
From inside the cab you cannot tell a lift has been done because we extended both tranfer and gear levers. Let us know if you would like a photo!
