Best bet is to get either 1- 1.5" shackles and spacers up front, dont go with blocks

Blocks are going to cause your leaf springs to warp.

Shackles wont as long as your leafs are in good shape. One of the benefits of the longer shackle is that it will alow for greater spring travel. you can easily pick up a set for under $60.
