Yea thanks guys haha, I'm trying to convince myself still, ima ride it for a little and if I decide to fix it, I'll just either get a bigger block, or smaller block plus AAL. Right now my block is 5", if I go with a 5.5" if possible would prolly be good, but if not I'll do a 1.5"-2" AAL and a 4" block, that first pic really looks bad haha, some trickery angle picture taking haha

hahaha...nick, you just have the 5" block or is it stacked on top of the stock 2" one?

Nah it's just a 5", no stacking in this department haha heard too man tales of them shifting and sliding

06F150CFCT

Okay..haha. yeah thats good to hear then...so you only had a total of 3" of lift in the rear once you took out the 2" and put in the 5"? you should be good with a 1.5"-2" AAL. thatll give you 4.5"-5" in back with the 7.5" in front. should be close to level, or just a little lean.

Yea I think I'm just gonna do the AAL an see how it turns out, and if all else fells I'll just add the little smaller block. But if I add any more lift to the back will I need the drive shaft spacer? I was thinking i read somewhere that anything 6" and up in the back needs it, with the 4" block and AAL could put me at 6" an too close to possibly needing the spacer

06F150CFCT

Well a 4" block and AAL will only net you 4" of lift over stock so it shouldnt be bad....but i dont know about the spacer. I think it depends on the lift but i have seen both cases but you might be right with the above 6" thing. I read somewhere about whether the back block being tapered or not and that accounts for the angle of the driveshaft.

I'm having the hardest time trying to find anything! I want to go with a 5.5" rear lift block. Or a 6", but would prefer a 5.5". Does anyone know where to find one? Also will I need the driveshaft spacer with that much rear lift? I can't find any info that is sure about it, some say yes some say no and so don't know

06F150CFCT

A 6" block would only be from RIZE so who knows if you could even get one...I believe Pro Comp has a 5.5" rear block. I know Fabtech has a 5" and so does Rough Country. The driveshaft spacer is something that comes in a fabtech kit but not sure how you can go about ordering just that. Seeing as you already have a 5" rear block a 5.5" one seems a little pointless...unless you combine it with an add a leaf or new springs.

Well the way in looking at it, I added a 1.5" spacer up front, if I ad an AAL 1.5"-2" could possibly put me bak where I was, I want it to be a tad bit nose high, I found a 1"-1.5" AAL from BDS and thinking about getting that and trying it out, if my front end drops too much I'll just go with a 2" spacer depending on if I like it or not. As for the drive shaft spacer I found one from pro comp, I was looking under my truck today cause I got some new steps and was installing them and idk if it's factory or what but it almost looks like I have a spacer idk an ideas ?
