If you add blocks and angle them upwards for the driveshaft, you then change the caster. Between caster, camber, and toe, caster is the most vital one for safe handling. Off by even a few degrees (-2) and you have problems. Then because the pitman arm/drag link is not angled correctly you step into bump steer or worse ... binding. If you have a track bar, that will not take kindly to forward binding. It will handle horrible even before you spit out a lift block, which it will. There is no good way to do a block lift in the front.

I hear ya. My truck had 33s and I really wanted 35s. But, it handled like a pig on the highway, so I put on donut cutter 31s until I could do everything right. I might survive a 35 mph crash if my steering, suspension, or brakes go, the Honda or school bus/van I hit with 5,000 pounds of steel when it lets go probably will not.
