Post suspension lift question

I'm new to the 4x4 world and have a fairly easy question. Can you put 4 inch blocks under the front leaf springs in a 75' F-250 4x4. Or would I have to buy new leaf springs? Any info would be helpful.

Physically, yes it is possible. If you value your entire front end and want to keep the vehicle upright, absolutely do NOT put blocks on your front springs!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Apr-02 AT 01:28 PM (EST)]never ever put blocks under your front end. that is the fastest way to lose it all really fast!!! the only time i ever saw blocks under a front end was in a blazer to get a better pinion angle, and they were welded in there
