I have both on mine because after installing the 6" Procomp lift, the front sat way too high compared to the rear - at least according to my tastes. The rear block is 3" and I also put on some 4" Skyjacker add-a-leafs which really only took it up another 2 1/2". It's pretty close to level now, though. I haven't noticed any adverse handling or ride issues.

provided you have a
1) cast iron block
2) less than 4 inches tall
3) tapered
4) NOT stacking
you arent going to experience problems, unless you absolutely suck at installing your suspension or are producing a ridiculous amount of power (if you can afford the power you can afford a leaf pack) you have NOTHING to worry about. completely unmitigated fears
i run a 4" tapered cast iron block on my regular cab short bed f150, the shortest wheelbase ford offers. even before my traction bars i was FINE and you will be too

I went with a 6"
I have a 6" block on my truck. I've had no problems, drove it like I stole it, towed a large boat, and even bounced it around quite a bit off road. No issues although I did add traction bars. I'll admit though, I will be putting the 4" block back in eventually and installing the add-a-leaf to keep it level like it is now.
