Default 4/7 drop question

I have an 08 2wd RCSB. It's got a 4/6 now. What are you guys doing for the extra 1 or 2" of drop in the rear? Mine has new hangers and a flip. I have a drop shackle left over from my SSS but when I mocked it up it didn't look like it would work. Do they make a 1" block for flip kits?

I was under the impression a flip kit with stock hangers was 7".

You are correct. After looking up the kit it is indeed a 7" drop. Looking for another inch to level it out.

Yep, stock hangers would have put it at 7", but since yours have already been replaced it might not be an option to put them back on. Any steel 1" block that fits squarely between the leafs and fits over the center pin (I can't even remember if there was one) should work.
