Lift blocks

My '78 Bronco sags at the rear. I think this is typical for a 22 year old machine. What are some of the ways to correct this. Can I just put a set of lift blocks in???

You could but, lift blocks tend to cause axle wrap and that is very hard on the whole drive train. Better to replace or re-arch your current spring pack, possible adding a full length leaf
