So why did Ford use 2 inch lift blocks on the stock springs?

[ScorchedEarth]

judging by how much these raptors ag with just 3-400 lbs, id assume its a raptor specif leaf with a much softer spring rate

Raptor springs are different than regular F150 springs.

I can confirm this. My truck is in the shop now getting an add-a-leaf and the shop called to say the stock springs are the softest they have seen. Service manager said he looked it up in the system and the raptor springs are indeed softer than regular F150 springs.

Cost and both overall and unsprung weight savings...

Is the stock block a 2" or 2.5" stock as indicated above?

Unlike many around here, I want my truck to keep the rake when nothing is in the bed.

When installing +2 Deavers, and removing the stock block (which has the bump stop plate integrated into it) what then should I use to continue using my factory bump stop?

Mine measures 2.5, grab your tape and check yours out.

Yep, just checked. 2.5"

I've been thinking the same thing about using the factory bump stop, but I haven't found an option yet. I think the option is to go to an air-bump setup, which adds significantly to the cost for something that I will likely never use.

SDHQ makes a bump stop pad. I just got mine through Crown Off-road here on FRF.

Why dogs lick their balls?

'Cause they don't have fingers to scratch them??
