I put a 3 1/2" lift on using the add a leaf on the rear. I guess the old springs were a little tired, so it sags a little in the rear. Need about 5/8" to get the rear passenger side back up to the height of the front passenger. The driver's side will need a little more.
I've seen the blocks on the vendor sites, but they start at 1 1/2" which is too much. What's the best way to get her sitting level again?
There is also a difference between the front passenger and front driver side. I'm not sure how to go about leveling the front.
I'd like to see how some of you have tackled this issue.

Auto Zone and Advanve Auto have 1" lift block kits with U bolts, and hardware. I have used the 1" blocks a few times. Some people will argue against them, but I've ran them for 20,000 miles on a '71 and rides and performs great.

Never been a fan of lift blocks but I have ran them temporarily in the past.

From my experience chasing lean and driveabilty issues, you will be miles ahead installing a leaf pack arched for 3 1/2 inches. If you cannot afford them new I'd be willing to bet that one of the members on this site has a set they would part with for a small price.
