I have yet to meet someone that works at autozone around here that even has a clue, much less knows anything about a vehicle. Removing the blocks that are between the leafs and spring perches will do absolutely nothing to anything except lower it that amount. Just go get a alignment done and your front suspension will be fine. I would have put dropped spindles on it myself but to each thier own. I've never been in a torsion style suspension vehicle that had the keys cranked that actually rode halfway descent.
