Rancho 4" lift + LK & AAL

I just bought a Rancho lift and I was wondering what would be the best way to achieve 4" lift in the rear? The kit i bought was used and didnt come with the rear block so im wondering if i could use a 2" block plus a 2" AAL? Im going to us the AS 1.5" leveling kit for the front so im looking to get about 5.5" of lift in the front and 4" in the rear.

Cheers VeriFine

The rear block is 2.5" taller than the stock block which makes the truck sit level with the front kit installed. I got a little over 5.5" in the front over stock height. Here are some pics.

I know im just trying to figure out the best way of achieving 4" of lift in the rear as my kit didnt come with a block. I just dont want to get or use a 4" block versus using a 2"AAL and a 2" block. if that makes sense

The Rancho block is 4.5 inches. That's about 2.5 inches taller than stock.

...or you can add a spring shackle. These are readily available and with the addition of a 2" or 3" block (remove the OEM block) could give you the height you are looking for.

I've tried the lift shackles, took them off because the ride was a little stiffer for some reason.
