After new blocks

 

Man I love that color. Had a 03 just like that. Back then it was True Blue instead of the blue jeans metallic, but its close enough. I did an impulse buy on a white one, probably my 2nd fav color behind the blue.

 

Sorry after blocks my iPad is acting up tonight !!!

 

amazing what that extra 2 inches does.

 

Well the way my guy explained it to me it ends up being more then 2" because u have to factor in the rake from the point of where the blocks are to the very back of truck

 

Interesting. Sad thing is we are buying these $50k trucks and having to immediately mod them to make them set how a 3/4 ton truck SHOULD set from the factory.

 

Very nice! I bought mine off the lot with the camper and snow plow prep as well.

 

You would also have to replace the U bolts?

 

Couldn't agree more!!!!!!! It used to be you only had to add airbags or something if you were hauling stuff you probably shouldn't really be hauling anyway. But now (or with my '12 at least) I had to add airbags just to keep it from looking like a dog dragging its @$$ across the carpet with just a moderate load, well within capabilities. Personally I'll never do airbags again, they've been a total disaster for me. But hopefully I'll never have to, since the '14 seems to be a lot better in this area.

 

Bigger blocks mean bigger u bolts. Plus it is not a good idea to reuse those.

 

Yes u need longer u bolts which they replaced when they installed my new blocks on truck !!!!

 

Do you happen to have the part numbers fir the blocks and u bolts?

 

The place that installed them told me to go to a local ford dealer and climb under a f-350 and measure blocks then get vin number on truck if it has the 3 1/2 " blocks then have them look them up and order them. As far as the u bolts my spring shop I believe made new ones or had them there at there shop. I will look in my garage I might have the box the new blocks came in I will look tomorrow Rich

 

I did the ready lift 4inch blocks. Came with everything. $315 installed.

 

That's what she said.

F250s have the same rear blocks they've always had for this body style anyway. The confusion has happened because some dealers started installing the F350 blocks in new F250s before putting them on the lots to sell making it appear that there had been some change, but there hasn't been any change. If you see an F250 with its hind end higher than than level with the front wheels someone has done something to it since it left the factory.
