Default readylift 3in rear block or Autosprings

I was just wondering what people prefer and why. I heard that the auto spring rear blocks have the cant built into the block, but i am not sure if this is true or not. What is the wing looking thing used for on the ready lift blocks? Any and all help is greatly appreciated in helping me figure out what blocks to run.

I can't answer your question, but am curious about others thoughts.

My question for you is are you also lifting the front? If so, how?

Yes i am lifting the front using an ICON lift package. Running an ADD venom front bumper. Method Race NV's in 17 with 35x12.50 BFG KM2. Just need to figure out which rear block to run and which led light bars to snag. I am thinking of just saving and going with RIGID IND since i get them through a wholesaler. Any help with the rear blocks would be great though.

I just put the 3 inch ready lift on my 2009. I put Rancho Quicklift up front and the RL Blocks w/ Billstien 5100's in the back. The RL blocks have the taper to account for the change in angle on the drive shaft. The wing thing you are talking about is the bump stop. I am satisfied with the look and it gave a little rake back that I lost with the level. I installed myself in the garage. It was straight forward. It took my about two hours start to finish. Tires are 295/65/18 Duractracs.

Thank you so much BUS33, that is the exact answer i was looking for. I couldn't remember if AS or RL had the angle built into them to correct drive line angle. Does the wing on the RL look funny from the back, like if someone was driving behind you would you notice it?

You can't even see them unless you are bending over looking under the truck. They kind of blend in since they are black. I should have also mentioned that it didn't change the ride as far as I can tell.
