The new springs have more of an arch to them which would allow more travel without stiffening the ride, it really dosen't matter though, the front is where you are limited in the travel with the torsion bars. Block will increase the chance of axle wrap, but I have the add a leaf with 4" blocks in the rear and don't get much wrap out of them, also the rear flexes as much as the front with my solid axle swap.

Not sure... I would look around. You can always buy the leaf lift and go to your local auto zone and pick up block kits with U bolts for like $30

Thats if your trying to get some extreme lift though. Then you got to figure out how your going to get the front up level though (i.e. coil overs, torsion keys, other leveling kits. etc..)
