Default Suspension lift question about blocks with springs

Ok i have a 2" suspension lift from old man emu. They are heavy duty springs. I have solid front and rear bumper and with all my gear i think my ride height is down to stock so i was curious if I added 2" blocks would give me my desired lift or cause more problems.

As most would agree blocks or spacers are really not recommended for off road use and from the sounds of it you offroad. That being said if you can afford to upgrade your suspension lift properly that would be best. Blocks or spacers will affect your down travel also and probably affect your vehicle more than benefit you under your circumstances. I would not add more than 1inch spacer to a already lifted truck no matter what.

If you go over 3" lift you should start working with altering other parts of the suspension and drivetrain.

What size tires will you be running?
Exactly which part number springs do you have, it can make a difference?

I would like to run some 30's or 31's but what would you recommend mike? I do some moderate to and many advanced trails. (I mean, someone needs to get the jeep owners to stfu about how land rovers cant do anything) . Also i bought the aprings in a kit from arb. Just a "heavy duty" set. I dont remember a part number.
