Ever heard anyone called a "shackle" head?

Blocks suck for a number of reasons.

If you only need 1" I'd go with add a leaf. if your gonna do SAS might as well just go with that cause you'll wanna swap new leafs in the front and rear after SAS

Trail gear, All-Pro, Sky, Shaffers, Front Range, etc

All good places to buy shackles. Buy good quality shackles or you will regret it in the future.

And DON'T use BLOCKS
