You will have to make them.

Yeah with a axle flip kit there is no lowering blocks unless you want to cut off your spring perches move them to the bottom of the axle.

I've made a set of lowering blocks for the exact application you are talking about.
I used the design that I saw from JTR's website.

(The version on the left)
I used solid 2" stock and drilled the bottom for the leaf spring "centering pin",... and then used a 3/8" allen head cap screw for the lowering block pin that will indicate on the flip kit bracket.

Just offset the indexing pin hole and cap screw to match the flip kit bracket,... and you will be good.

The picture below is for S10 lowering blocks.
So your block dimensions may be different than this picture shows.

YES! i am glad someone is on the same page with me!

that is what i was thinking of making, but i was wondering if all that 'stacking' of parts would be alright. i will also be having a bracket under the block and between the leaf that extends out and the air bag sits on.

i was thinking of maybe using steel tubing inplace of the solid aluminum and welding all of it together?

but the solid aluminum seems easier to do for me....

I think your u-bolts will keep it all together.
You will have to buy new longer u-bolts anyway.
