2in spacer with 5in block?!!? what?!!
haha ok new idea and its not what it sounds like....since i have my lift and everything and still want a little more height im thinking about adding a 2in spacer ontop of the front strut and changing my near block from a 3in to a 5in
any suggestions on my idea?
and i think i would need to change the brake lines because they might be too short

Get the Fabtech FTSBK52 blocks. This will give you 1-piece 5" blocks for the rear that include the proper replacement for the factory bump stop arms that would have been included on a factory 4x4 model (you may also have to add the corresponding rubber frame bumpers if they're not already on your 2wd). They also make a kit you can order for the longer replacement u-bolts, or you can pick them up a local 4x4 shop.
On my FX4 they fit without changing the driveshaft or brake lines.

It should work. I have seen people do it but the ride is rough. Just take a look at your upper control arm, sway bar and rack and pinion angles after install. and of course post pics
