You should look for the "keys" that realign your torsion bars. They work pretty good. They are available from tuff country or on ebay. Here is a simple kit that will get you 2-3"'s, Good Luck.

The rear blocks wont change your ride because they do not change anything wiht your actual suspention. The front can involve some work because you need a special clamp to install the new keys. A shop could probably do it for you if you did not feel comfortable. Go check out idasilva644 or colton's page. They are on my friends list. they installed them on there trucks. I am going to intall a set on my truck this winter.
