Looks like Pro Comp discontinued the 5.5" blocks for the F150, they don't even list them on their website, but you might still be able to find some online before they run out. I did find some other blocks though. http://www.tuffcountry.com/miscellan...ft-blocks.html

Im not sure which one fits the F150, but you could call them and verify it or get someone with the 5.5" block to measure theirs. Also another option is to remove the pro comp block, and use the stock block with a 4" skyjacker add a leaf. This would give you around 5.5-6" of lift and give you alot more towing capacity.

I found a set of rear leaf springs, on the 4 wheel parts website, they are Skyjacker 6" and its almost cheaper then installing a add-a-leaf (4 wheel parts quoted me around $270 installed). On the site it says its for the 2004 4X4 F-150 Pickup (not heritage), so I don't know if it actually will fit or not. But if I got that I wouldn't even need blocks... right? I'm gonna call them today if I can. Search: Skyjacker Softride Leaf Spring $290.99.

Those are the leaf springs I have ordered. I think the price they gave you is for one. You need two.

Are you talking about the add-a-leafs or the skyjacker 6" rear leaf springs? Nevermind... why do you gotta be right? haha

It's better to go with new leafs than big blocks...this will prevent axel wrap, but I can Imagine what your CV shaft is going through.

So I found out that the skyjacker rear leaf springs are only gonna lift the back of the truck 4" but yet it says 6", kinda gay if you ask me. . .
