A 6" block is really big! I would do a shackle flip and lose/shorter block and drop a leaf or two. The idea is to have a soft leaf pack. Just removing a few leaves would soften AND lower your truck. Flip the shackle, drop a couple leaves (I would take off the shorter leaves closer to the bottom of the pack IMO), and get a shorter block to take out any extra lift caused by the shackle flip.
Also, that shorter block will cause LESS spring wrap which is a very very good thing.
