Now many years later I am rebuilding the truck again. It is a driver. The front springs have settled 1/2 inch over time. I carefully measured it out before pulling the engine. I intend to build 3" blocks to go between the rear axle and springs. 3 1/2 inch blocks for the front. Then I will figure out what length of shocks I need. The steering will be another issue to get set up as well. I think it will work. I will use new U-bolts too.
I will get you some detailed pictures as I get deeper into it.

Just an fyi Blocks up front are a big no no. As for which kit, I'd stay away from the soft ride kits as they have softer springs. This is the delimma one faces when trying to keep a 3/4 ton when lifting. I'm gonna have my local spring shop build me a set of springs that will keep my K/20 3/4 ton. Sorry I can't speak for which over the counter kit will do what you need.
At the bottom of this article it explains Why front blocks are bad.
