8" lift without blocks

Hi all, so I was trying to find this persistent rattle and metal squeaking on my truck which has been driving me nuts. What was it? A busted spring pack on my rear drivers side. ARGH!!!!

Anyway, back to my question, anyone running an 8" lift WITHOUT blocks? If so, which spings (manufacturer) are you using? My truck has blocks and since I am going to have to replace the pack, I should do both and since I am going to do both, I might as well ditch the blocks.

Let me know.

Cheers!
:-)
