I got mine from...
Lift Kits, Leveling Kits, and Shock Absorbers - Suspension System Specialists! - Top Gun Customz
It rides slightly rougher but its not bad. Not like my old Jeep.
I also ordered a lift for my jeep from the same place great company i highly recommend them.
I went back and forth weather to choose a mini leaf pack or hangers. It came down to the mini back looked safer than the hangers, just my two cents

I could be wrong but I thought I heard that blocks in the front were illegal in some states?

Why would that be? If they are sturdy enough for the back ( directly under the heavy loads) then why could you not use them for the front in some states?

Never! Blocks on the front are unsafe look up "axle wrap".

I always recommend my Rancho leveling kit. I'm personally not a fan of add-a-leafs or mini spring packs. When I did mine I went from 2 leafs per side to 8 leafs per side. No shackles or any other stuff. It smoothed out my ride, and helped a lot with bump steer. I also went with an adjustable trac bar from Pro Comp while I was at it. I did have to completely drop the front axle, but it wasn't a big deal with 2 people. Below are some links to old pics of stock height, and then leveled.

EDIT: Whenever you go to work on it, get a portable blow torch to heat up your bolts!
