Need help :o

I cannot find 4" rear lift blocks for my 03 f150. I've checked both with discount auto and advance auto, they only have the 3" blocks. They called their dealers and they came up with nothing. Anyone have any ideas to help? I'm trying to stay with the blocks because they are cheaper than doing the aal. If it comes down to it, i just might have to get the aal.

Found out there isn't a difference between 4wd and 2wd lift blocks. I believe my problem is solved.

Can't you buy 4" blocks from fabtech? They should sell just the tapered block.

Yeah i ended up finding those and a few more on their sites. Until i get the blocks i'm going to be using a lift shackle kit. i have a link to them, not the same exact one but they're are the parts store. Anyone used em? any advice? I don't plan on keeping them forever

ive never used shackles like that so im intrigued to see how they work or if they just buckle under stress

the more i look at them the more they look like spring hangers, even looking at the little yellow picture,

New and improved idea, Autozone has "lowering" shackles but have multiple slots on the shackle. I read online guys use them for lift. Mission accomplished.
