I have a 2015 blue/gray rocket that has longhorn uprights and upper control arms. I want to put a 8 1/4 upper back on the right front but I need a spacer block to go between the upright and the a-arm. Anyone know what size spacer block I would need?

In your situation, I don't think I'd trust anything anyone told me. I'd start stacking temporary spacers until I got the geometry correct. Then I'd make a spacer.

It would be a 1" spacer if the uprights were in the original location and your running the front end wide or out (19-1/4) if narrow or in their would be no spacer . I would do it all at ride height and as masters said stack washers or whatever until I got back to the same static number then make the appropriate sized spacer

By geometry and static number do y’all mean the camber on control arm angle?

Yes, put it where your camber comes back correct with the correct control arm. I'm assuming you know where the vertical location is supposed to be, or it wasn't changed.
