Wanted: 98-07 Rear axle blocks for Ford Ranger 4x4
I am looking to do the pre key lift on my 2010 ford ranger but am having trouble finding the rear axle blocks. I was hoping someone has a set here. Looking for the blocks removed from a 1998-2007 Ford ranger.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Where are you located? I've been contemplating switching out my 2.5" factory blocks for the post '07 blocks.

^ What is the difference in the post 07 blocks? Can't be too crazy since it is just a lift block and all.

the spacer blocks will bend his leaf spring into a W pattern
i paid good money for a pair of 1,700 pound capacity springs only to have the spacer blocks destroy them in less than 3 months
the 2nd choice i posted will provide weight carrying capacity as well as eliminating the spacer block

There are also millions of rangers riding around on oem blocks and don't have a problem. Maybe those leaf springs were not as good a quality as you thought.
