My stock blocks were flat.

I have yet to see or hear of a stock Excursion block being tapered, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there, knowing how Ford is.

Karl, are you the original owner of your rig?

Mine are flat. When I did the lift I put a 2 1/2* shim in it to help with the driveline angle.

My stock blocks were square about 2 1/4" front and rear. I also have an old set off a 2005 F-250 That had overload springs on it and that block is also square but only measures about 1 3/4" front and rear. I give up trying to fiqure out Fords thinking. I now have 4" Tapered blocks with the V-B Springs.
