The pic above is the 5" Fabtech block I switched to last Friday. The previous setup was a stacked setup with the 2" factory block and the 2.5" procomp block:

I don't think that matters except that in your setup the rods and seals are more vulnerable to rocks and road grime.

The 2" factory blocks are what the truck comes with stock. In your case it looks like they were pulled out and just replaced with 3" procomp blocks, so you only have 1" of lift in the rear over stock.

Hmm... Mine is an 05 FX4, I wonder if it's just something they put on the 4WD models, or maybe just the FX4s? Hopefully a few other folks can weigh in. I wonder if my rear end at stock would actually sit 2" taller than yours because of this block, or maybe they put taller rear springs in the 2WD and it evens out?

Any local 4x shop should have them. My 4WP has a rack of them sitting back in the shop bays.

Otherwise Fabtech makes a u-bolt kit. You could order a new block w/bumpstop and u-bolts at the same time.
