Blocks put a lot of stress on the spring and Ubolts... There are better alternatives.

blocks and shackles? Sure.... but again... IMO blocks aren't a good way to lift.

Are you talking about booster shocks? Some have springs but are expensive... You can get ones that use air pressure from a local auto parts store.
