I just purchased a 79 F250 Custom. I had one years ago and can't remember if the rear end had blocks? The truck I bought has blocks on the back but nothing on the front.

I'm almost positive they all came with blocks in rear. All of mine have had them ranging from 1"-3". Stock or not,, who knows.

Yes on the blocks on the REAR of a 2wd or 4wd...NO blocks from the factory on any 73-79 front axle.

Blocks on the front for a cheap dumb lift, are for block heads.

Pay no mind to the shim, is came with the 6" lift leaf springs.
