Don't ever put blocks under the front. Use the add-a-leaf or get new springs.
You might check out getting some new springs, I've heard you can really improve the ride and you can get them made for any height you want. But if your on a budget, adding a leaf is a great way too.

if you had an extra set of leaf springs yes you can take the front stacks apart and add more leafs just get longer centering bolts and yes thisis a safe way of doing it and get an add-a-leaf for the front plus adding a few more from an extra stack won't hurt anything just give you a stiffer ride
