What block are you talking about? There is none to remove unless your talking a. 25 inch shim.

Wish it was that easy.!

Son has a 2019 ranger 4wd and is 17 years old. he doesnt want to lift the truck, just lower the rear some. its too high for him. Kinda like on a f150, they have different rear block on a 2wd and a 4wd

Look at the rangers rear suspension. The axle is below the spring with no block. Just a shim to take the lean out of the back end. You can put a block in the raise but there is nothing to take out. A lot of people wish they could lower it a couple inches. Not without rebuilding entire rear suspension. There is another thread about doing this. A couple have but very expensive.

Yep, loose rear suspension travel and need to watch drive shaft slip joint travel and angles. See other threads about pinion angles and vibration issues. Lots of things to consider when messing with drive line geometry. Not quite as simple as changing a shim.
