Wanted 1 inch rear spring spacers

[pjtoledo]

yes, I only want about 1" rear lift on my 2005 2wd.
maybe take-off spacers/blocks from the '08+ 4x4s ?
shipping to 43623, Toledo.
can pick up within 100 or so miles.

Does it have to be factory Ford? There are plenty of lifting/lowering blocks for sale on the internet.

no, doesn't have to be.
thought I'd try the members here for first.

Assuming same load rating, springs were same between 2wd and 4wd.*** The added height of the 4wd came from lift blocks. IIRC 98(and maybe earlier)-2007 used a 2.5" lift block, and 2008-2011 used a 1.5" lift block.

An easier and possibly cheaper solution would be a set of chevy lowering shackles from you local auto parts store. Most stores around here used to have them in stock. Just checked to make sure that they still offered them and both O'Reilly and Advance Auto here have in stock for about $60.

They are sold as a 2" lowering shackle for Chevy pickups or universal applications, but they fit on a Ranger and provide lift due to the different shackle and hanger orientation. There are two holes on the shackle that can be used for the leaf spring eye bolt, the longer on is good for around 2 inches, and the shorter one is closer to an inch.


***EDIT: Even though your title clearly talks about spacers (or blocks), my mind went to "take-off springs" not "take-off blocks" when reading the post.

edited first post to specify blocks/spacers.
I know there are after market shackles/springs/blocks and other stuff.
I'm just stuck on the idea of 1" Ford blocks. or close to 1"
this 2005 2wd already has rear springs from a 2004 4x4. over 200,000 miles on this set.
I rarely haul anything over 1000 lbs anymore ( ) so the goal is to get my sagging rear back up for a mild rake.
the cap, heavy rubber mat, and 50 lbs puts the rear at slightly less than level.

I do have a set of blocks from a '99 but I don't want that much lift.

I got some lift shackles you can have for the cost of shipping.

They're good for at least an inch. They have two holes in them.. I forget if the first hole is for 1" and the other 2" or if the first hole is stock and the other is 1" but.. either way.

Have some 1" coil spring spacers for the front too id just give ya.

thanks, but I'm going to hold out for spacing blocks.
front coils are doing OK, even after 379,000+ miles.
