Default Unlowering '87 Blazer RWD

Hello,

I recently bought a Blazer that is lowered. I love this truck but hate the lowness.

There are blocks between the axle and leaf springs in the rear. I am assuming the front coil springs were cut.

I am asking you all what I should do. I want stock height. Do I have to replace the struts in front and back? Advice appreciated. Thanks

remove the lowering blocks in the rear and get OEM shocks, and get new shocks and springs up front.

Thanks.
I made a shopping list on rockauto:
Rancho RS5000 shocks front and rear
Moog 5658 coil springs
Moog upper coil spring insulators
4 U-bolts 9/16" X 2-3/4" x 6-7/8"
I'll post some pics when I'm done
