How much lift are you trying to put on it? I mean, if you buy a suspension lift kit, the blocks will come in the kit.

Yeah, the blocks for the rear should come with the kit. You might have to buy a drop pittman arm and shocks, depending on which kit you buy, but the blocks, springs, etc. should come with the kit.

That's not what you want. The kit you are going to need is going to cost around $500+.
