Lift kit help

Hi everyone,
I recently bought my 2016 F250 XLT with an upgraded Lariat interior last year. I have no clue what size lift is on it and I'm hoping someone can help.
My rear blocks currently measure out at 9in top to bottom. from the center of the hub to the center of the fender, I'm getting 34in.
Currently have 26x14s and 37s on the truck with no clearance issues. I want to upgrade the lift as it has IMO a piece milled liftkit. the rear blocks are not for the short bed from what I was told causing some issues
with the drive shaft being pitched to far down. which has caused a vibration at exactly 50 mph. the rims and tires are brand new with less than 2k miles on them and have been re-balanced to ensure that wasn't the problem.
i also upgraded the U-joints in a single-piece Drive shaft.

The rear blocks are + 6” lift blocks.

standard 2016 is 3”, specialty blocks are 3.25”

big laundry list of associated changes if you change the block height.
