Most trusted lift other than blocks?

What would be the best lift, aside from blocks, I don't trust them as much as I would whatever else I'm thinking of. What all is there?

I am going to buy Tough Country. It seems like most peole on this board recommend them.

www.offroaddesign.com sells them along with other bells and whistles you might need for lifting.

Tuff Country and BDS springs, and shackle flips by Sky Manufacturing and Offroad Design. www.diy4x.com just came out with a new shackle flip that uses a plate style shackle like the front springs use. would allow you do ajust lift and/or pinion angle with longer and shorter shackles that are easily made out of 3/8" steel plate with a drill and a sawzall.
