6" ReadyLift (spacer kit) shock upgrade question

I'm trying to verify some information/get some suggestions.

I put my 6" ReadyLift w/ bilstein 5125s for the rear on my 2017 4wd truck that has the spacer kit and not the coilover kit. I drive mainly highway/interstate roads about 99% of the time, so I don't need the coilover kit. The lift utilizes the stock shocks and coils in the front. As of now, the lift has the 6" block up front, and the 4" block in the rear. When the time comes to replace the front shock, I was going to upgrade to the bilstein 5100s on the lowest setting. Now I know this will be about .75-.85" taller than stock. So with that said, could/should I just go ahead and replace the rear 4" block with 5" block to prevent any carolina squat? With the 6" ReadyLift kit, it has a slight reverse rake now by about .25-.5". Am I going about this the right way or is there something I'm missing/not thinking about? Again, any suggestions/tips/ideas/etc. are appreciated. You won't hurt my feelings if you tell me I'm an idiot and all (like really, there's nothing you can say that will hurt my feelings lol). Lift was put on with 54k miles and I am hitting 60k today on my way home. I'm just wanting a lil bit softer ride. Mostly when I'm running over the 5 sets of train tracks I have to cross daily 2xs a day.

 

If you’re upgrading your shock, you should buy one made for a 6 inch lift and get rid of that brick of a spacer.

in the back you should do a shackle and not a taller block

 

You're saying to remove the 4" block and replace the stock shackle? I'm not opposed to it. Do you know who offers a 5" shackle?

 

No, you can do a 1 or 1.5 inch lift shackle to get more instead of a taller block. Personally i would be looking for a custom leaf spring with that much lift.

 

I did a 4" procomp lift with the billsteins up front at the lowest setting to give me roughly a little more than a 1/2" up front along with a plus 3 coachbuilder shackle in the rear along with the block and add a leaf that come with the kit

 

I run a 3 inch block and a 1 inch shackle in the rear, no issues. Also been towing like this for the last 50k miles. Your easiest option is to slap a 1 inch shackle on the rear.

 

I'm starting to lean towards the shackle. I may get one that's adjustable between 1" and 1.5" in case I need/want a little more.

 

1 inch setting.

 

brand? and where'd ya buy them from?

 

They were 50 bucks on Ebay. There are plenty of choices out there.
