For those interested in lowering the rear of the Raptor, I have found some options. I know some people cannot fit the Raptor in a garage, or just like the look. For whatever reason, it's cool and this info is for you.
Options;
Deaver or National +1 springs. They work great, they are spendy, and something has to be done with the bumpstop.
Shackles, available in 3/4"-2" of drop. They come in cheap-o versions $39- at Pep Boys, quality versions like Bell-Tech at $90-, or off road versions like Total Chaos at $175- They are easy to install, and have no bump stop issues as the block is retained.
A new block. I just found this:
Ford F150, 2004-2010, 2WD, 1.5" Rear Block Kit
The bump stop horn on the block is retained, but the block is about 1.25" shorter than stock.
Keep in mind;
The collapsed length of the Fox shock is always a factor, 2wd and 4wd F150 springs are the same 3" width. A shorter block=less leverage and less axle wrap. Ultimately we all have different needs and expectations from our Raptors, go ahead and do what you want!
