From the looks you are pretty close and a block would be to much. Maybe an extra leaf would pick it up enough and then it would add to your rear weight carrying ability. Simple to do. You will need a bottom leaf and a new center pin bolt that goes through all the leaf's and the round head locates in the perch. Hope this helps. Nice looking rig.

After adding the lift, have you checked your rear drive shaft pinion angle. If the angle could use some improvement. You could use some pinion angle correction shims. The shims would also add a little more lift and help the drive line.

Everything that @gnsteam said...except if you need pinion correction, (and they all do...) then go ahead and burn off the old axle perches, and install the newer, taller ones. Weld them in place at the correct pinion angle. The extra long ones from Wild horses work well too.

How many miles on springs?
If new, give them a couple hundred miles to settle before deciding on how much more lift you want. The front may settle more than the back.

Interesting. It's usually the opposite of your issue. Are front/rear from the same vendor?
