blocks versus new springs

Sorry for all the questions...

What are the tradeoffs of new leaf springs versus blocks for a 2-3" lift in the rear?

I may need to tow a class 4 trailer occasionally for very short distances.

Where is a good place for leaf springs?

blocks, cause more stress on the springs causing wheel hop and axle twist. i would rather go with new springs...
