removing rear block

removing rear block
First of all, I had a blast today. I got to spend some time working and driving the Ranger. It's been a while. Detorqued front torsion, hooked up horn, installed the front grill, changed one 02 sensor (and the code hasn't come back), cleaned the interior, etc.
On to the topic. If I remove the rear block it should be about right with the front height. If I remove it, what do I do about a bump stop? I thought about milling this block down to 1" or so if the bump stop is needed. Thats still within the range of it looking right. Is there another option?

we tried to put my old ones on Kevins truck with no blocks and the shock was pretty close to being bottomed out just sitting there... you may want some shorter ones

If they have the Rancho rs9000 at 4wheel parts I'll get them tomorrow. I like the idea of adjusting them. I found a model number cross reference so I am good to go.

I have the RS9000 shocks you mentioned (in 4wd length though) and think they're good, but not worth the price you have to pay for them. I usually leave mine on setting 1 which is the softest setting.
Before I got the Ranchos, I had some ProComp ES3000 shocks that I thought were way too stiff for the rear of an unloaded pickup. I think that setting 6 or 7 on the Rancho shocks are about the same as the ES3000's.
