6" Lift with blocks....that's scary. I've seen several kits that use
modified shackles and springs rather than blocks for safety. The new
Fabtech Kit for my buddies '99 RAM 1500 Quad-Cab 4x4 uses shackles and
springs for the rear. When we talked to them, they basically stated the
same thing: "The use of blocks is mainly for people who are on a budget and
want it to LOOK good. If you want it to function properly offroad, use the
spring kit". (BTW: The kit runs close to $3000 with all the trimmings
(dual shocks up front for better rebound control).

On trucks last week they installed a 6" superlift on a new silverado and
they opted to go with blocks instead of new leaf springs. Must of had a
good reason.
