As a heads up, In MOST states, it is ILLEGAL to install blocks up front. Leaf springs, coil over shocks, etc. are fine in the front. However, what is legal; for added height, they make mini leaf spring packs that can be added to existing leaf spring set, all they do is pull the leaf spring pin out, add the mini leaf pack, then re-pin everything together as a complete set. Best of luck!

That's pretty much the same thing as a block with a hole drilled in it. They are just leaf scraps and may not even have holes in them.

As an update

I took the Ex to a local shop that everyone reccomends for driveshafts, joints etc
Turns out they did the previous work for the lift shop on my shaft, U joints etc
They said that the shaft was slightly bent and are going to try a new tube and balance it again, but obviously cant promise that it will fix the vibration
I am starting to lose hope here

Does anyone know of any shops or mechanics near Alabama or the gulf coast that could possibly help with this ?

Any thoughts that a custom drive shaft could eliminate this problem ?
