Do not use block in the front.
Very dangerous....
If you upgraded to a 2.5" lift and removed the blocks you would be close to where you are now. You can adjust slightly with shackle lengths...
If you want a comfortable ride, look into Deaver springs. They aren't cheap but they can make custom build a spring pack to make it ride smooth... Multiple thin springs give the softer ride...
