You can stack and weld them, or just measure what size block and buy on big one or put in an add-a-leaf. There are pros and cons to whatever you decide to do.
I've got two stacked blocks for my lift. I get bashed on here all the time for it being unsafe, however I put my truck thru hell time and time again without any problems. That's not to say I don't check on them, I really do :/.
There is nothing wrong at all with your setup. Problem is most people think they are engineers or they watched a TV show that says otherwise.
+1. I don't think the previous owner would have done it if it didn't come with a 3 year warranty
For the longest time, all the off-road rags were very much against stacking blocks for lift....... (this was in the days before the internet, and you actually had to have a copy of the mag in your hands.....) Today though, I see it as a matter of course for a great many of the suspension companies to do it that way..... I must be old school or something, as I still don't think it is the best idea..... Of course, I am not a fan of blocks for rear lift at all in any event.
So, since it seems that everyone is doing it that way, and giving a warranty on the product..... there hasn't been any safety recalls I have ever heard of, or class action suits, or even any individual lawsuits, suing any of the companies because a stacked block failed...... It appears to be a perfectly acceptable method of lifting the rear.

I think all the big three have or at least have had truck models on the market with block lifts in back. I personally couldn't make a technical argument one way or other but assume that if the big 3 lawyers have allowed it out the door then it must not be all that dangerous.
.......or they read it on a internet forum instantly turning into an expert. No real world hands on advice on the subject at hand or commenting on a product they themselves have never used. I have no real world experience with stacking blocks because its an automatic FAIL.
