it depends how high you want to lift it. A 2-4 inch block will be ok but bigger than that they fail too easily. On my vehicle i wont go any bigger than a 2inch, but i drive exceptionally hard and have lost my rearend a couple times because of blocks.
If your just raising for looks and dont do any serious offroading, blocks are fine and cheaper

if you buy the right springs. you can add springs and make it ride real stiff. u can get them cheap if you look around.
