well i wouldnt take the helpers out to put in blocks its wouldnt solve anything if your trying to go higher , seems like at this point you should ditch the blocks idea and put in longer shackles

Start soaking the rear shackle bolts in PB blaster. Also a good idea to have spare bolts in case the bolt wont come out of the bushing sleeve.
