Sagging rear end
I own a '78 Bronco with saggy rear suspension. Is it okay to use lift blocks in the rear to bring it up to match the front? Rearching my springs is out of my price range and therefore so are new springs. I know lift blocks are used with lift kits, so I can't see any harm in using them with stock suspension. Or am I wrong?

You will need to get new, longer U bolts to install block. My experience is they are expensive for what you get. Check into new leaf packs at your local supplier. I got some once for about $80 ea. which aint bad.

i would look into an add-a-leaf, the long kind...they are about 60 bucks for your truck if i recall, the long kind will barely stiffin the ride, and lift it about1-2 inches, i personally dont like blocks because of the spring wrap they enhance, i guess itd be ok with a small one or two inch block, but with the u-bolts and stuff itll cost about the same as the add-a leaf, just some food for though
