right, if you don't wang up keep the trem down to the body plus about two complete turns of the screws. even with three screws on the trem, down wanging is still possible and the guitar shouldn't go sharp if you break a (small) string.
if you really want to "block" the trem, make a spacer block that fits behind the trem block tightly, (tap it in) from the bottom. this is not a great idea if you have a five screw pivot trem (vintage type) because if your spacer is too tight it will force the bridge forward causing undue strain on the five picot screws. actual blocking works well on the newer two screw bridges tho.
and it always seems beneficial to change trem guitar strings one at a time.
