Default Axle lift block

Does anybody make a 1.5" lift block with a 3" width? I can't find one anywhere.

Thx

What do you mean with a 3” width?

Any of the aftermarket 1.5” rear blocks for 2004+ F150’s will fit.

True, but I would prefer one the same width as the springs.

I’ve used the oem 2” block and at one point I used an aftermarket 2.5” and later an aftermarket 3”.

All were the same width as the leaf springs. Unless you have some aftermarket leaf springs, I don’t see why you’d think the blocks won’t fit.

Here’s a pic of an aftermarket 2.5” block.

My springs are 3” wide. 3” wide blocks are easy to find except in the 1.5 inch height. 1.5 blocks are easy to find, but not with 3” width.

Oem 4wd blocks come in two sizes. 2” and 1 5/8”. What size block do you have in there now?

What exactly are you trying to achieve, that may help us understand better.

My truck has 2" tall lift blocks. it sits a little lower in the front than the back. My objective is to make it sit level. I dont want to raise the front more. If there was an OEM block that was 1 5/8" that would be fine. I would like it to be 3" wide side to side so that it fits snugly within the u-bolts. The current 2" lift block is 3" wide which matches the springs.

like mentioned above, that's a lot of work for 3/8", even for 1/2". To each their own...
