Not really adding height. The block is 4 inches in the back. The 5" would raise the back an inch and the 7" would go with a 2" longer shackle. The truck sits perfectly level now, but looks like the ass is sagging so I'm going to put a hair of a rake on it.

Go much higher and you're gonna have to call Tate's guy at Pitbull for some 40s.

What is your shackle angle at and what shocks are you running. Sorry if It was mentioned somewhere before and I missed it.

Shackle is straight up and down, and I'm running procomp adjustable shocks with the knob all the way to the left which should be loose.

i would take off those shocks and test drive!!! I got those for my fabtech lifted truck, did not last long, way to harsh. I think carli or one of the other higher end dodge suspension companies was doing a custom valved king for fords now that fits the stock mounts
Carli has custom valved King shocks and Fox has a factory replacement line.

Try relocating the shackle angle to 30-45 degrees from the frame rail. Thats suppose to be the best set up for ride quality. The greater the shackle angle the more force is exerted down on the spring and in turn the spring rate gets lower. I imagine you will notice a lot from doing this. Especially if your shackle is straight up and down like you said. That should be 90 degrees which would be the stiffest configuration you could have.

Even on tension shackles? Everything I can find on shackle angle is for compression shackles. Either way, I'm going to hold off on moving leaf spring hangers until I get deavers.
