Don't mess with spring blocks on a multiaxle trailer. If you notice trailer mfg and axle mfg don't offer blocks as OEM or a option. Blocks simply add much more stress to the longer axle U bolts....spring keepers and top plates while tires side scrub while making sharp turns or shrp backing maneuvers.
The safest way is to use a cross braced box tube frame welded to the main frame rails...then spring hangers can hang from the new tube frame. This would be the safest way to raise the trailer if thats what will have to be done. WE have members who have pictures of their tube frame. If I can find one I'll post it up.
