Default lift questions?

My buddy has a set of 4" blocks he said I could have.
would I be able to put like 6" lift springs in the front?
to make it look like a baja truck?
rustys sells the springs for 150.
So I figured I would have part of a crazy looking lift for super cheap.
And would that make me flip over backwards easy? you know going up steep banks and such?

wow, stay away from the blocks, especially with stock springs. 4 inches is way too much, you'll only end up finding your rear driveshaft lying on the ground as you leave the intersection resulting from excessive spring wrap.

you're better off looking into a rear bastard pack using most leafs from a junk yard chevy s-10.

yea that probably why your buddy is giving them away. he know to stay away from them. like said before your better off getting some JY springs. or if you can save up some money just get a complete kit. it all depends on how your gonna use you rig.
