Anyone running 2nd perch with 2" drop shackle in the rear?

Anyone running 2nd perch with a 2" drop shackle in the rear? If so how does it sit, level, front higher or does the rear still sit higher than the front?

I don't run that setup and don't know the size of the OEM rear axle block, but if someone can measure their rear lift block then these photos should be pretty helpful.


FRONT: Middle Perch
REAR: OEM rear lift block replaced w/ smaller 1.5" block.


FRONT: Middle Perch
REAR: OEM rear lift block removed

Here are the full threads where I found those photos. There are a couple pictures of both trucks in each.

FRONT: Middle Perch
REAR: OEM lift block replaced with 1.5" block and 1" Synergy drop shackles.

Owner claims 42.5" in the front and 42" in the rear.

Are you looking for a front up higher look?

ya, i just sold my 2011 screw and had it on the top perch and removed the factory block in the rear, it had a drastic rake or "prerunner stance". Just bought another screw and wanna run it on the 2nd perch this time and wanted to still have that prerunner stance, so i was wondering if i would be ok with a 2" lowering shackle or if i would have to pull the entire factory block again. I know the fact block measures to 2 3/4"

Haven't seen any bull dog Raptors. Got a picture of your past truck?

After doing some reading the conclusion on this for me was to go with the shorter block, not shackle. The shackle lost more travel than the small block, because the small block changed the position of the bumpstop as well.

heres a pic of my old raptor now owned by board member Broc, with top perch and stock block removed from the rear on 37s.

I've run the drop shackle before on mid perch and it sat just about level.

Don't remove the rear block unless you change out to aftermarket springs. You mess with shock ride zone by removing the block.
