OEM Style 5" Rear Leaf Spring Lift Block

Is the Fabtech 5" rear lift block the style of the factory block? Does it have the built in bump stop hanging off the side or is it just a rectangle block?

This is the one I'm talking about, but there's no pictures.

If it's not the OEM style, do any companies make a 5" block like the OEM version?

Thanks for the link BestNTx.

BTW, what setup are you running on the rear of your truck? Truck looks good.

Ok thanks.

Any problem with the stacked blocks? On previous lifted vehicles I had quite a bit of axle wrap with stacked blocks and was able to eliminate most of it with a single block. That truck just had the single pin in the leaf springs/blocks, so maybe the double pin helps a little.

That's why I created this thread in the first place... I didn't want to stack the ProComp 3" block on top of the factory 2" block, I was going to just use a single 5" block.

I've got a used 5" pair laying around I took off my truck when I switched it to a full leaf spring rear. I'll sell it for $40 for the pair which will include shipping and yes they have the beak on them for the bump stops to hit on. I can also make the u bolts if you need them which will cost around $10 each (4 needed)
