OK, I have heard good and bad things from suspension blocks. I am not going to be doing any heavy wheeling so would they be ok for me? Its mostly for appearance.

you never want to put blocks in the front, it can be dangerous. but the rear is a different story, most trucks actually come with a few inches of block in the back from the factory. i have seen some guys with 6" or more of blocks in the back and they seem to be doing fine but i wouldnt recommend anything more than about 4". by the way i e-mailed you

For the wellbeing of your truck, the less block the better. As said, alot of trucks came with 2" (or more in some cases) blocks already under the leaves. Just don't stack your blocks. When you do the add-a-leaf, keep the block for the AAL's full height boost, or if you can do without the boost then pull the block to reduce the chance of bad things happening under your expensive truck. If its just a cruiser, you have less chance of something bad happening though. Plus the guys here will never let you live it down. =P
