Greatings y'all, quick question regarding lift blocks. I added a front leveling kit a few weeks ago. Looks great, love the stance, except when I add my overland rack and hard shell RTT, or tow my utility trailer. Maybe it's me, but looks like it adds a bit of negative rake. I'm considering a simple one inch Lift block in the rear. Anybody added a set and have you noticed any adverse effects, such as drive line vibration or needed a longer driveshaft? I've done blocks on older trucks in the past with no issues, but I wanted to double check on our vehicles before pulling the trigger. Thanks.

the other benefit of the shackle is you are not adding more lever arm to the rear axle from the springs so you won't get as much axle wrap. though, not that 1" is going to cause that much more trouble

i doubt putting any type of small lift would cause vibes or allow the possibility of the driveshaft sliding out on full droop. i would have no issue doing either a shackle or a block if i was looking to do a slight lift.

I just installed the BDS Shackle on my ‘25 after doing the FordRanger level.
I can confirm they do indeed fit our generation just fine.
