I hate blocks, but they are a necessary evil. Too much block height and you start getting some serious axle wrap. Higher arched springs are a much better alternative.

But a higher arched leaf spring produces a rough ride. Boomerang shackles are what you're looking for. They provide a small lift and can be easily fabricated to fit our vehicles. They also smoothen the ride and increase flex. Very simple to install, I've done them on a Jeep in about an hour or so. And didn't you replace the rear block with the Fab 4" Kickass?

It would take a shorter shackle to provide lift on our trucks, not longer like on a Jeep.
