Default Raptor blocks with stock 4x4 offroad shocks

I did a search and all it brought up was people using the blocks and svt shocks at the same time. Anyways 13 f150 4x4 with the offroad package has the 1.25 block from the factory. I am going to the raptor oem blocks when I put my leveling kit on. Is there a extra inch, inch and a quarter reserve in the factory shocks? The raptor ones are 2 and a half on one side and 2 and 5/8 on the other since they are tapered if I remember correctly.

1.25'' blocks are on all of the 4x4. The off road package isn't as "off road" as you'd think. Pretty sure others on here have raised the rear with raptor blocks no problem.

No, just tapered as usual when using anything larger than a certain size. Typically ~2"+

I know this is an old thread but if you haven't done it yet, your stock shocks should work fine. I've been running the factory raptor blocks with the stock 4x4 shocks for a while now with no issues at all.
