2.5" OEM Lift Blocks
Does anyone know the part number for the Ranger 2.5" OEM lift blocks? I have tried calling several Ford dealers but they are no help as the computer does not give them dimensions for the parts. Also, I have tried to find a wrecked vehicle at junkyard with no luck either.
Thanks! :)
Thanks! :)

You need lift blocks from a 2003 FX4 4x4 and not a level 2. A level 2 has a larger 8.8 which I believe causes the spring perches to be different.
I wanted to also mention the Ranger 7.5 and 8.8 (minus the level 2 31 spline axle) hardware is the same. You will need longer u-bolts too.

My vehicle had the 8.8" axle from the factory. The problem is that the Ranger's now have 1.25" lift blocks, which is what I have. I am wanting to go to the 2.5" lift blocks from a previous year Ranger. When you talk to the dealer they have no way of telling you the size of the blocks for any part number. As a result, you have to be sure that the year or part number you give them is for the 2.5" blocks. This is a special order item meaning that no dealer stocks them and will not accept a return for if it is not the correct size.

New ones have less than 2" of lift.

Call Tousley Ford 1-800-328-9552 and ask for Steve Powell, he will be able to verify. I pulled my 2.5" blocks off a 2005 FX4 Level 2.
Either way my original post is all the information he needs. If he has the 8.8 31 spline axle he needs some from a 2003 FX4 Level 2 if he has a 8.8 28 spline then he needs them from a 2003 FX4 Level 1. I don't know how else to explain it.

i know he can actually find what he is looking for aftermarket.. he should just look for an older year.. and find the blocks i have seen them looking on google actually.. but now that reread your post it does make more sense blonde moment =]

Good news, I was able to locate a wrecked 1998 Mazda B3000 4x4, which had the 2.5" blocks and u-bolts that I have been searching for. So, fortunately, I was able to keep from paying for the premium priced parts direct from Ford. Nevertheless, this still does not help any of you who may be searching as well. I will be sure to get pictures up of the updated truck with all of the latest goodies in the "snapshot" area.

I was actually on the verge of calling Tousley Ford when I received a phone call from a local junkyard who found a set of 2.5" blocks and u-bolts.

Damn that ebay ones is more expensive than I thought they would be...
Could I use factory 2" blocks with my rear end that is a 7.5? IE: If someone had it on the 8.8, would it fit my 7.5?
Are these specific to left/right side? And lastly how are they installed.. I found some how tos but they are other trucks which looks like they mount at the bottom of the axle?

That site has what appears to be like 5+ spacers number 8 on the diagram... which doesn't help what model number is needed.
