    iBelieve the extracabs come with a 2 piece driveshaft. so iThink a 4" block would be fine. it would be better if u can get angled blocks too... i had a removed middle leaf and 3" blocks for a lil while but ride was too soft for me...

    You should go with 4 inch and if you want it to drop like another inch you can take the middle leave off
