Default 8" Rear Lift Block/U-Bolt Kit

So I am looking to swap out my stacked blocks in the back for one 8" block and will need to get a set of 15-16" U-Bolts to go along with this. I have looked everywhere and for the life of me I can't find anyone who sells this either together or separate for the f-150 but i know they have to be out there with the 8, 10 & 12 inch lifts that I have seen. If someone has a link to where I can find this please let me know.

Personally i have never seen blocks that big.The biggest i have seen them is 5inches.Most kits that go 8,10,and 12inches will utilize add a leaf springs with a 5inch block in the rear.However tho i could be wrong.Message a guy named "Thump" on here.He had the 8inch Rize kit i believe and could tell ya more.

I would not run a 8" block first of all. Yes its safer then running stacked blocks, but I would definitely have a set of traction bars on there. Run a 5" block and an add a leaf is your safer bet. Your safest bet is to get a set of springs made for it. Enough safety, find a spring company. They can make you anything you need. I use a company that has several locations in FL. There called Tampa Spring Company. Give them a call may have a place close to your location.

There is no way i would run an 8 inch block or stacked block on the street. had a tower that was about 10 inches welded to a dana 70 on the bog truck, but it had huge traction bars to go with it. If you stay with the block be sure you run traction bars!!!!
