Rear block question

Well I put in my 5 inch superlift and I see a problem. The rear they only sent a add-a-leaf. With it on the ground the rear is about 3 inches low. Should it have come with a block for it or can I put a block in on top of the stock block. Thanks for the help

Never stack blocks..........go with a correctly arched spring instead

I hate "leveling lifts" when I put my skyjacker on with full leaf packs I had to up the rear end as well. One of the things I did besides putting in extra leaf springs was to put a block on the factory block. Here is how I feel is the only safe way to do it. I got blocks from BDS that bolts to the leaf package and then of course longer center bolts. I got those from atlas. Then I took the leaf package apart. added the springs I wanted to and bolted it all together including the new block on the bottom of the package. Then its all locked together as one unit and the head of the bolt sticks out the bottom to locate into the center of the factory block.
