Default Rear leaf blocks?

Had my truck up on a lift today doing exhaust and noticed a block under the leaf springs. I know that ford added a block for lariat trucks but mines only an FX4. Is this stock on all trucks?

I believe the FX4 came with a 1" block stock.

Default factory rear blocks 08' FX4

I would actually like to know the answer to this myself. Recently I installed a 3-1/2" leveling kit up front that I got for free in my 08' FX4. However now the truck is raked up in the front and the rear needs to come up... But how much exactly? I don't know? Literally measuring from the ground up to the highest point on the wheel well arch there is a 1" difference between the front and rear. Do I just get a block 1' higher than the factory block to level it off? If so, what's the size of the factory block? does anyone know for sure?

TIA,

If it's a 1" difference then buy 1" lift shackles for the rear and you'll be level, pretty easy to swap out, did mine about 8 moths ago.
