08 FX4 Rear 1" Low... Block Question???

I did a Skyjacker 6 inch lift and added a 2 inch spacer to the front. As a result, my rear sits one inch low. I installed the aal that came with the kit. I do not want to install another aal. Its stiff enough as is.

My question is about blocks. The stock 2 inch blocks have bump stops. Are there any 3 inch blocks I can purchase that have bump stops? If not, could I stack 1 inch blocks (not my ideal situation)? Do I even need the bump stops? I cant imagine ever making my truck bottom out, but you never know? Also, where should I buy my new blocks from? Thanks guys!

Can you get a 1" block? If so, where can you get them?

best bet is contacting Fabtech or a known Febtech distributor. They make both a 3" rear lift block and a 5" rear lift block. These REPLACE your factory lift blocks. It is VERY unsafe to stack any sized blocks. Also, you may not think your going to use the bump-stop, but its better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. 99% of the time you wont use it, but that one time you do, you'll be glad you have it. Fabtech makes some quality lift blocks. Check em out.

You can use 2 wd shackles and will give about 1 1/2 inch and not affect ride. Canuck motorspor has them on ebay for about 70 dollars
