I am doing the fabtech 6" lift kit on my truck, and I realized I have 3" rear blocks I had installed and now I cant find my stock blocks. This really stinks, but I have a 2005 ford f150 2wd 5.4, and I really need these bad. Does anyone know how many inches the stock ones are??

I would be willing to pay the shipping if you have them just sitting around and if you want to buy my 3" ones I am sure we can work something crazy out. I dont want my truck looking ridiculous forever.

Any help would be appreciated, I am located in FL so if your local let me know.

I am guessing to much rake?

We havent finished it yet, but its for sure going to have that rake. Seems the kit comes with a 2 1/2" block on the rear that goes on top of the stock on on a 2wd. Now I am not sure exactly what the stock is, but I am not a fan of that look at all. Dont want to say i am desperate, but it will get there lol.

For what it's worth, 2wd trucks do not come stock with a rear block (FX2 being the only exception.) so I'm not sure what it would want you to stack.

04-05 4wd trucks have a stock 2" block, 06-08 4wd have a stock 1 5/8" rear block.

Hmmm, why would a 6" kit though come with a smaller block then what I have then?? I guess my question is how does fabtech actually achieve 6" in the rear. i am looking at the kit now, but now you have me confused.

I think 6" on a 2wd is actually 4". They get to 5" on the rear of a 4x4 by stacking blocks (which is dangerous if you ask me). They seem to equate 5" with 6".

I am starting to feel a little bit better, I am gonna continue and finish this then. Let me just say how much of a pita doing the front spindles are on this truck lol. I promise pictures, I am crossing my fingers that you guys are right and maybe my 3" block will actually keep the rear taller then I am thinking.

I have two sets of 2" blocks with U bolts if you end up needing some. I'm in Jacksonville, FL.

My 4wd '07 had 2" blocks. I've seen a good mix of 2" and 1 5/8" in the 06-08 range for some reason.

Ill keep you in the loop, ill have some answers on saturday. Gotta finish the front end and off to the rear I will go.

Interesting. I wonder why there is such a slight difference in those two blocks the 4x4 had.

I have 2" oem blocks in my 2wd. Bought them from a guy that had an 05 4x4.
