Eibach standard kit with rear block OK for towing?

[BNJF]

I actually only tow twice a year about an hour and a half each way. I have a 20.6 bow rider with a 5.0 engine. About 4700lbs with trailer. I would like a cost minded lift to get a better ride and fit bigger tires for my stock 18" wheel. Any issues with the stance of an Eibach standard kit set to 3" and a 1" block? Btw, for the rear, would a shackle from BDS be better? Thanks for any recommendations!

Maybe it's too late for me to follow this...i just order the eibach pro truck lift kit with the bds shackle... when i will receive everything..in like a month ? maybe i will be able to help you ?

I'm looking at this too. I don't need the extra clearance, so I'm thinking about just getting rear shocks to start and then possibly doing a 2" front lift later.

The only thing I would be concerned about, is the spring bending over backwards over the block slightly. I know someone whose truck started to do that so he ditched the blocks and went with a add-a-leaf kit.

For twice a year you are probably ok but be aware that if you take your truck offroad I would suggest ditching the blocks and putting replacement leafs back there. Options are on the rise now with them!!

Off road and towing...just fine from my personal experience...

The rangers have a thick overload leaf so a block should not harm anything from the extra leverage.
