Suspension lift kits replace most of the components that your jeep uses for height and stability where a block or spacer is added to your stock suspension to simply lift the vehicle to fit bigger tires but won't enhance offroad performance like flex or maneuverability.

Ie; blocks are usually just square metal pieces that go between the leaf spring and axel to lift the rear and coil spacers do the same for the front with the coil springs.

Basic Suspension lifts can include new front coil springs, lower control arms, shocks, brake lines, transfer case drop spacers and either add a leafs, shackles or new leaf springs for the rear with u bolts.

Blocks can get unsafe. Youre just putting a 2" block under your leafs and probably a spacer in the front which aint too bad.

Not a fan of blocks & pucks, I've always saved a couple bucks each week to add to the Jeep kitty & before you know it you're buying a full leaf pack/ new control Arm good& safe suspension lift. My .02, stay away from blocks & always buy full leaf packs.

I think Zone has some good lifts at good prices, I purchased A Tomken Machine lift this time & am very pleased. Shop around, you don't need much to lift our rigs & if you piece a lift together you could save some good coin.
