Default rear lift block question

Hey guys,

About 2 weeks ago i installed my daystar 2 1/2 inch leveling kit on my 06 screw. As many have learned the daystar kit sits a bit higher than they advertise, so now i have the rear sitting 1/2 an inch lower than the front. My options were the ad-a-leaf or the block, and due to the fact i like the ride of my truck i am going with the block. I am going to put the 3 inch rear block in, but my question to you is what is the size of the pin and hole? I went to lordco (bc's local autoparts store) and got pricing on a trailmaster 3 inch block and others. The trail master was the best bang for the buck but, the block is a generic block with a 9/16th pin and a 5/8th hole. Is this going to work in my truck or what is the size of the pin and hole in my f150? i have the towing package if that maters.

Thanks

Kyle

Generic blocks wont work. Heres a pic to see why. The ford blocks have 2 locating pins.

You could always cut some length out of the rear shackle like I did. Cut some length out and just have someone reweld it. I lifted the rear of mine up for free.....

you cant get raisng shackles, a guy on here named Coner is runing them, if i remember right he said they gave him right around a inch, so it might give you just a little rake back
