Interested in raising the rear of a 2011 F250 by swapping out the factory 2 inch blocks for 4 inch blocks. What's a good kit to go with to do this? Will I need anything else besides the blocks and U bolt setup such as shocks?

 

I bought some 4" blocks off a guy on here that lifted his truck. you might check a lift shop or watch threads where guys lifted their trucks. for me the factory f350 u bolts that came with the stock blocks barely worked, the reason being is on the f250 you don't have the aux spring and cast spacer that sits above the main spring pack. fortunately the u bolts are threaded long enough to tighten down. I did have to sawzall the ends of the bolts so a socket would fit over them.

ready lift makes a kit for trucks just google it.

these trucks really should have just came this way, for my truck its made a world of difference, even without a load the truck looks better and with a load it really has helped level it out, I may not even worry about air bags.

 

did you rasie the front and rear? i really want mine to sit higher too, i have a 250, can you give me some more imfo on what all i need, thanks for your help, Tom

 

no I just raised the rear, my f250 stock unloaded had MAYBE .5" positive lift in the rear. as it sat it was almost perfectly level front to rear. I also think with the higher hood height than the top of the bed rail height gives and allusion that the front is higher than the back which makes it worse.

so what I have now is the stock ride height front to rear as an f350. to me my truck looks alot better, both loaded and unloaded.

 

did you have to do anything with the shocks? any before and after pics? thanks

 

no I didn't change the shocks no other changes. you can see how it would look by taking a floor jack under your rear hitch and raising it 2"

 

I am also looking to do the same. Any pics from underneath? I plan to do this myself to save $$ and want it done right. How long did it take?
