Great advice here, personally I don't like blocks in the rear either. If your going to lift it some you may as well try for a better ride all around.
I recommend that you ditch the factory steering arm and invest in crossover steering if its a daily driver. Its a huge improvement over the old "bump steering"
Deaver springs will make you a pack.
ORD (Off Road Design) has everything you need for the crossover steering.
My lift is a strong four inches with 33" tires.
