As far as I know, you can only use lowering blocks in the rear.
On the front, you'll have to use drop springs or cut the coils off of the springs you have, or use drop spindles, or a combination of the three.
For the rear you can use lowering blocks, drop springs, or carry a bunch of concrete blocks around with you, lol.
These are the most simple means of lowering a vehicle, looking through this site you can see all kinds of elaborate inventions involving air baggs and custom frame modifications etc.

Well lowering blocks mount between the axle tubes and either the leaf springs or trailing arms to raise the rear end higher. The actual suspension is not lowered. There is no way to lower the front end with blocks.

2" is about the biggest block you can have without taking a risk of dragging the trailing arms if you get a rear flat. I have seen them as large as 4", but I would NEVER consider it. I have 2" blocks with 4" drop rear springs for 6" rear drop. This is an easy, reliable setup.

Good luck, Rg
