Good thing you already plan to go long arms, because using coil spacers on top of 4.5" coils puts a short arm setup at a pretty steep angle. With the arms at that angle they can't move up very well giving you a stiff ride. In the rear, I like keeping a fairly soft spring for ride quality with a set of airbags for when I'm loaded down. I need to build so traction bars though to get rid of the axle rap.

well. blocks arent too bad but these are blocks that you stack on top of your stock ones. I have seen quite a few pictures of the after market stack on blocks cracking and disapearing from rear leafs and giving the driver a fun ride. also they shift when used in off road situations.
But the biggest thing especially with a diesel is the twisting of the axle. The blocks go under the leaf pack raising it off the axle more which gives it more lift. but what it really does is create a weaker pivot point. so when you gas it the axle twists but when you have taller blocks it could twist alot more.
I have seen people get away with it no problem but I wouldnt trust it especially with a diesel.
