    Don’t know which route to go to. Lift block? or Leaf spring kit? Or both??? I have an idea of which getting a 3” suspension with 3” leaf springs. Is that dumb ?? Or should i strictly go for either?

    A purpose built leaf pack designed for 3" lift using no blocks is going to be 100% better than doing any kind of lift block. This costs money.

    People only do lift blocks because they are cheap and easy, not because they are better.

    Do what fits your budget and skills but don't be under any illusion that going the block route is the ideal method.

    Progressive multi leaf add a leaf like wheelers or icon at the very least. With a block installed, the rear is under sprung with alot more axle wrap and overall is just very bouncy.

    I always recommend a bump stop upgrade with any suspension mods. I have the progressive wheelers super bumps and it makes a world of difference and makes overall drivability much more enjoyable
