Re: lift kit options??
The issues with the blocks are mostly about "leverage". The blocks move the axle away from the springs which allows a greater force to be applied to the springs. The rotational force of the driveline, the opposite rotational force of the brakes, and the side force of steering are all factors in this. Every force against the springs is amplified as well as against the blocks/u-bolts themselves. It's just not safe.
There is also the issue of "angled blocks", because that is how the overwhelming majority of them are made. Angled blocks are bad enough on the rear axle.....but they are far worse on the front. Angling the pinion up-ward, which is what everyone woud do, just kills your caster setting. The truck would wander all over the road at best...and "dart" uncontrollably at worst.
In answer to the original question. There is always the "add-a-leaf" style kit. They are a single leaf that is added to the original spring packs. They generally lift about 2"-2.5" and are very cheap compared to "full spring" kits.
