Couple options, measure your leaf width, should be 3" and then go to your local boneyard and find a truck with blocks taller than your stock blocks.
Second you might be able to find blocks at your local parts store, i know around here pepboys and advance auto sells them.

I really hope you don't think you are gonna be able to upgrade to 35's from 33's just by adding blocks!!! Of course you won't be able to flex much but that is good considering the blocks will prolly shoot out the side when you try to flex

SAWZALL BABY, SAWZALL!!!

PS.....LOL, if you go to Autozone and buy blocks and actually use them...I can't believe someone on here actually said that!!!

Blocks on the front axle can be dangerous.

Yeah, lift blocks under the front springs are real bad news if it's a leaf sprung truck. If it were a coil sprung truck i'd say throw a set of coil spacers in and have fun, but i'd go for a real lift or at least rearched leaves.

Ho' if you don't stop diggin up these old **** threads I'm gonna reach through the screen and smack you one!

This dude wasn't really talking about putting 5" blocks (or any blocks!) in the front was he!?

Blocks, front or rear, suck, but up front they are a damned greek tragedy.
