So if I put skyjacker 4 inch leaf springs in back and replace the stock two in lifting blocks with 4 inch lifting blocks. On the front am I going to need 6 inch coils with a 2 inch leveling kit?
 
Honestly, I'd leave the factory blocks out and get the 6" skyjacker leaves. Add to that a set of Beltech 6400 Shackles and you'll be right about 5-6" of lift over stock. A 6" lift up front would "level" the truck out.

If you still need more clearance for larger tires, try one of THESE

Yea i wish i did that in the first place but i have the 4 inch leaf springs and the rest of a 4 inch lift allready and i have 4 inch blocks sitting around. My friend dropped off some 33 super swampers the other day and i'm afraid 4 inches of lift isn't going to clear it. I could cut the fenders but I'm afraid that it might be to much and i need to be able to drive my truck on the road.

I hate blocks with a passion. I'll do about anything to avoid running them.

Get a set of extended shackles and install those. They will give you some lift (1-2") and allow for more movement of the leaf springs (increased flex). Add some bumpstops if you are worried about the tire clearance with the top of the fenders or bedsides.
