I would just add another set of block's it won't hurt unless you are going to run maybe the Baja 500 I had double stacked block's on my last truck and it never slowed it or hurt it in My oppinion and I am sure you will get other answer's .

I put on springs from stengle brothers that raised the rear more than 2 inches just because the stockers were dead. depends on what you want out of the truck.

Its a pullin truck, I kinda want to get rid of the blocks and don't really want longer u-bolts do to flex under extreme loads when sled pulling. but im looking to jack the rear up a couple of inches.

Id do the 8" rear springs, because the 6" rear will probably get you only 5". Then maybe a 2-3 block would get you where you want. The 8" rears will get you close to where you want to be. I wouldn't even consider adding another 2' block on the stock 6'' block.
