I've been searching high and low, and maybe I'm too tired to figure this out from what I've read...

Where (if possible) can I find a one-piece 3.5" rear block?

I know Auto Spring has a 1.5" block to add to the factory 2" block, but I'd rather have one piece, and toss the factory block. Can anyone quickly direct me to a reputable product? Thanks!

Not really sure,could be wrong,but i don't think there is a company that makes a 3.5inch block for the rear.The 1.5 will work fine,just bigger u-bolts and really tighten her down and you will be good to go.Or if you have access,go to a scrap metal yard,get a chunk of steel or blue cold steel and have them cut it for you and replace yourself.Just take a look at the stock block,and make all the necessary mods to the new block and your good to go.That is if you have access to a fab shop/and or can do it yourself.Good luck man

Don't stack blocks!!!! The only way i have heard of it being done is to weld them together and even that is kinda sketchy...

I know it is a little bigger than you wanted but what about these???

Yeah...those are a little too big. I know the 3" looks okay, but I have the '07 F-150, and I know the rear sits a little lower than the 04-06 trucks, so I want to have that extra 1/2". I doubt I'll be doing any fabrication. I might have to bite the bullet and stick with the 3", unless anyone comes up with a 3.5" in the meantime...

Get AAL's and lift shackles....much better IMO....

but yes in the old days I made custom 3.5 alum blocks and they worked.

Thought about that, but I don't want to mess with the OEM ride quality. I just want to do blocks. There's gotta be something out there! If there are 2", 2.5", 3" leveling kits, there has to be 3.5" for the rear (you'd think).

I second on dont get alume blocks.If you fabed your own rear block and did it to the specs of the stock block,just bigger,your oem ride wouldn't change much.I have done blocks for 2 friends of mine where i work and there really happy.

I made solid alum blocks my brother....they were rock solid

I agree the "autozone" hollow alum blocks are cheap ...the blocks I made are solid alum and the could not be broke...trust me we tried.

As far as the AAL's affecting the ride I don't think it would very much....I know when I put them on my truck it rode better...
