They should allow the tires to clear. Not recommended for extreme off road use, but will work if you dont try to jump it over hills ;D

Lift blocks on the front are a bad idea.

No because if they come out you will lose control since that is the steering axle.

Definitely stay away from lift blocks in the front. Either add a leaf or get a lift kit.

Cheapest, add a leaf and rear blocks. Longer shocks and a steering arm. You can buy a 4" lift with shocks and u-bolts pretty cheap too.

something like this. If you shop around you'll find many company's with free shipping like jc whitney

I hate blocks myself.  I think it's worth the extra money for the kit with full springs.  In Michigan front blocks are illegal to run too.
