Rear blocks removed

Bringing this old thread back up as I have a question. I want to keep the stock rake but want to place an AAL in for a bit more payload. My biggest concern if towing over 7,000 pounds I don't want anything to negatively effect the drive as most of the towing will be the Ol' Lady's horses. any info would be great, I would do a 4 in BDS lift but that might bring my towing weight down a good bit

Anyone have Firestone air bags on when taking blocks out? I installed Firestone Ride Rites and the problem when not towing is truck is about 2 inches higer cause I have to have at least 12 psi in them so they don't bottom out. Taking the blocks out should put it back down to stock or less and still keep the bags the same. Just not sure how this will affect warranty that I still have left even though its a 2010 and when towing.
I don't like it this high but those bags sure makes it ride smoother.

Thank you for the idea I was gonna try to stay away from airbags for the cost and the possibility of adding a lift later on if I find myself a new hauler. i guess bags would be the simplest way, or just living with the extra rake lol

Was looking at mine and will have to make a modification of some sort to lower the brake line bracket as the bottom bag bracket will hit it.
