Which lift blocks?

I have a 97 ORP with the factory 2in blocks. I cranked the torsion bars a little and I would now like to bring the rear up 1in. I don't want to mess with an add-a-leaf, so I was thinking of either buying longer U-bolts and slipping a 1in block under the 2in block so I would still have use of the rubber bump stopthings. Would it be smarter to buy a three inch block kit from auto-zone instead for $24 that already has the long u-bolts in the kit and take the stockers out and buy longer bump stops? Thanks

to my knowledge they dont make a 1" lft block, i would get the 3" block or add a leaf, a add a leaf is not that hard to do it is not much harder than istalling the blocks, instead of the block all you would have to do is take of the bolt that runs threw the spring pack and install the new leaf and put in the longer bolt, it is simple well i hope this helps

Wouldn't two lift blocks stacked on top of each other be a little unsafe?

all the lift kits made that use lift blocks for the 4x4 put the lift block in with the factory lift block/bump stop the u bolts hold it together and it will not come apart

I haven't looked for 1in blocks yet, but I know years ago they had them, because I stacked a 3 and a 1 to drop my S-10 4 inches. Thanks guys
