Here's my $0.02... Why are you looking to swap out what's in there? In a perfect world, no body would use blocks, but they are inexpensive, and not that bad when used only on the rear axle. And body lifts are a personal thing. They are actually an Ok way to get a little extra lift after you've already installed a suspension lift. Some just don't like being able to see between the body & frame. If you remove the body lift and do the 6" springs, you're going to lose an inch of lift. And if you don't need new springs in the rear, why drop that kind of money into a hunting truck.
