I forgot about the rear...

Yes, you want to stay away from blocks. I had a set of springs made in Canada at Carrier Spring Service a few years ago for one of my trucks. I couldn't tell you the difference between the '76 F100/150 rear springs though. I am a big fan of shackle flips and that can get you an additional 2-3 inches of lift without spending any real money (8 bolts).

Don't do add-a-leafs, as your ride will suffer substantially and you won't get any real height gains out of it.
