if you want to lower the rear. you couldswap the rear shackle for a 1 or 2" drop shackle.
That's definiatly a AAL.
but the block don't look stock to me.
the one on my truck had a "arm" to the inside so the bump stop hit it instead of the diff.
,5" difference from tire to fender side to side I wouldn't bother with that...it's pretty normal to me...just bounce the suspension and it will change.

What's your recommendation on a manufacturer for drop shackles?
Like I said I have 22" f150 Harley wheels on the way and I would like to make them work and am debating taking the bushwacker flares off. I'll take one side off tomorrow and see how It looks.

Dont worry about the .5", even the driveway being a little uneven could change that as the suspension will flex a little. I would say if your getting new wheels and 35's put them on first the new tire set may fill up the gap more than you expect. Worry about it after the new setup.
