Before you buy new u-bolts, remove the blocks and see how it sits. I pulled the 4" lift off my truck, put it all back together with new u-bolts, and it now sits about 1" low in the back. The rear springs are saggy, and I'll need a set of 1" blocks to get it right - and - I'll have to buy another dang set of u-bolts to accommodate the 1" blocks. I think they're about $40 a set at Napa if I remember right.
