Default adding 1in block

i was just curious to what you guys think about adding 1in block in the rear and 1 in spacers up front on top of my 3inch lift? i have an aal and two inch shackles on the rear to make 3, and springs up front. i just want to give the body just a little bit extra hight. if i do this, would i have to worry about axle wrap, or is that just with larger blocks? will i have to upgrade any parts beside imperitive ubolts? what do i need to know about doing this, if its even recommended.
Thanks for responses

if you want to do something along those lines try a ubolt eliminator kit from tnt. more work and more expensive but can give you .5-1.5 of lift safely and allow you to move your axle back up to 1.5 to recenter in wheel well after lift
