No!
Ive been 4 wheeling for a decade and have read dozens of times to never ever use lift blocks on the front. If you do make your own out of real stought steel like 3/8" rectangular tubing and go with a length at least twice as long as the blocks you can buy. Never is it recomended to reuse stock ubolts but if you use lift blocks I would say no way. An easy and cheap way to lift your front is to just get a junkyard set of springs and add some leafs. Use a new center bolt. Leaf pacs are easy to take apart and add leaves. The front end has a lot of stress on it under hard breaking and hard steering and regular rear lift blocks can't handle the stress and it will induce spring wrap in the springs when breaking. This is why I say use extra long not tall blocks to limitt spring wrap. Don't do it! Just add to the pac you have. Take the main spring out of the junk yard spring and cut the eyes off and add that one to the springs you have maybe another if you want more.
