NO NO NO BLOCKS

if you are only going 2" just do shackles

perfect lift would be a true 2" coil spacer and a 2-2.5" shackle (2.5" if your springs are a little worn)

most 2" spacers are actually only 1.75" so you will want to go to the local bone yard and pick up a pair of used coil isolators... they will make up the difference

or you can make your spacers yourself (mine cost me $9 for the pair)

lol, just avoid those blocks (unless they are 1" or less) they cause axle wrap issues, wear out your leaf springs and maybe even break your leaf springs...
