People buy these cheap Pep Boys blocks and they are cast aluminum which equals breakage. You need billet aluminum or cast steel ones. Lift springs are always better than blocks any day but for a budget, blocks will do.

looking closer it is definitely the add a leafs causing the bending. The blocks just compound the problem. The add a leaf is thicker than the leaves in the pack. It is NOT staggered correctly. The stock leaves are bending right at the edge of the add a leaf. I have seen it happen many times
