Drop Shackles

Your lowering your truck right? I think you can remove them. Just check because IIRC one of the blocks is angled to shim the rear end angle. But, you can buy a shim for the rear thats mutch smaller

you shim your rear end Jason? That doesnt sound too comfortable

Im putting some drop shackles and just wondering if you have to do something with the block that is under the leaf spring and above the axle? Do you remove it or leave it alone?

I installed shackles in mine last summer - lovin' it :rockin.
No need to do anything with the block.
