Either replace or re arch the springs. Dont use the blocks.

You'll have an odd pinion angle with the block. Springs are the way to go. Look them up at http://www.jcwhitney.com

thank you! those were my thoughts as well, 2" blocks seem like "jerry rigging" it to me. think I will go 5 leaf springs and use a lowering block if I have to, I am sure I wont
do you guys have any opinions on shocks?? Bilsteins? Edelbrock? KYB? any ideas would be great, thanks again!!
