Default 4" Lift Rear Block Size Question

Hey y'all I have a 2010 f150 with a rancho 4" lift and skyjacker 4" AAL's and it has too much rake for my liking. What size rear block should i order to make it sit level again? Thanks!

NO Blocks.... Grab you some lift shackles... That will get you the extra inch or so that you need...

If i keep the leafs ill also have to order some new shims, the ones i have now are metal and creak and pop so loud everytime the axle moves. Do yall know where to order plastic shims so they don't make all that racket

its a complete 4" rear leaf pack? You have too much rake but ppl are suggesting adding a lifting shackle? Put a drop shackle if you're looking to lose the rake.

Why not just raise the front instead of lowering the rear? That is specifically why the Skyjacker kit includes coil seat spacer rings (pictured below); they allow you to even out the front to your liking. Hence, 4" - 6" ADJUSTABLE kit.

That's the beauty of the Skyjacker kit; it's adjustable.

Thats a option.. Grab the Rancho 7000 struts and you'll have a 6" lift..

Or just add those spacers in front and the stock block in back to get a 6" lift...

I used to have a rough country 6" on it but didnt like how it rode so i dropped it 2" with the rancho rs9000xls and skyjacker AAL's. I'm just trying to get rid of the noises the shims are making when they move around by getting plastic ones and get some shackles for getting it level, but i also could get those new 6" rancho struts haha i would like to get back at 6" of lift again and i already have the blocks for the rear if i go back up to 6" from the rough country..... Oh the options haha

It's probably an 1"-1.5" higher at the bed, i guess some drop shackles could do it and new shims, i had it loaded down with wood the other day and it was sitting level and looked Goood so thats what I'm shooting for
