Go with the blocks, I installed a 2 1/2 in block from summit. I was able to use the stock u bolts now my truck sits level near perfect. I will agree with ATOM,,, put all the springs you want you still have a factory payload. Look at your rear springs very tough....

Regardless of your springs, you cannot go over the max payload the truck has, go for it, not my frame. it would be pretty sweet to be overloaded and brake a shackle hanger off. oh yeah and make sure you running P rated tires too
"Remember, overloading a vehicle with too much payload is a dangerous situation, one that can harm you, your passengers and other drivers. If a police officer pulls you over and determines that your vehicle is overloaded, it's possible that you may get a ticket for unsafely loading a vehicle -- something no one ever enjoys."

BTW,I was pointing that out because I think it's false advertisement. YOu could technically put 40 add a leafs under your truck. By their math,500lbs. extra payload,thats 20000 lbs extra. Now,will a 1/2 ton truck move with 21,000lbs in it? Hell no.
