Front (Drop) Spindle Lift for 2014 Screw

[7raptor]

It is your truck, set it up anyway you like it.
But if all I wanted is to lower the rear, I'd cut down (or remove) the blocks between the springs and the axle.

Thank you for all of your knowledge shared on this thread!

What's the difference/advantage of removing the block vs using the drop shackle?

Adding longer shackles adds flex removing blocks removes flex...

I installed 1 1/2" rear blocks which brought the rear down a touch over 1". The blocks retain the bump stop horn much like the stock blocks and there is slightly less axle wrap due to the shorter block. If your going to lower the rear and plan on keeping stock rear springs I would opt for the block instead of the shackle so you can still maintain decent bump travel. No rear block can potentially cause your shock to become the bumpstop if you get overly ambitious off road.

And; to lower the rear by 1" using shackles you need them over 2" longer
