you made the comment it will look like its "squatting like a girl" and its BS so maybe a level kit is not for you

 

I made the comment it ALL READY looks like it is squatting. Looks like it is all ready overloaded with nothing but air in the bed and it is BS that I would have to pay to make it look right. I do not understand why it is like that.

You have an F250? What year? They sit pretty level from the factory.

F350? They have a higher rear end from the factory and many folks raise the front up to make it level.

 

It is a 250. 2015. The FX4 seems to sit level but the 4X4 squats. And with a skid steer on a trailer the "Super Duty" squats another 3-4". So much so oncoming traffic flashes their lights to high thinking the Fords high beams are all ready on when they are not.

 

it appears they softened the rear springs as more folks are using these as family vehicles and not just work trucks.

most of us who haul loads, GN or FW trailers have had to add something to keep the tail from dragging. air bags, stableloads, added springs.

 

It has 1/2" spacers in the front. It would rub if you would cut hard without the spacers. I don't know anything about ride rite air bag systems.

 

Ok, so it squats when it's loaded? If it's the sagging with a load that you're upset about then you need to add more spring to the rear axle. This can be done several ways. I've installed air bags over my rear axle on every truck I've had since 2007 (6 or 8 trucks used for business). You can level out any load and also you can deflate them for a softer ride when you're not loaded.

It was hard to tell if your truck was squatting unloaded or loaded. If the stance while unloaded bothers you then that's another issue which involves more than just air bags.

 

2015 F250 Crew, Standard Box, 4x4, Diesel...
I measured my rear blocks at 3.5", on level ground (measuring to fender lip) my truck sits 2-1/4" higher in the rear.

Looking at getting the ReadyLift with 5" rear blocks and 3.5" front spacers so should make my truck sit about level. My concern is that at level rear will sag with load so am thinking about getting air bags to level it under load...any thoughts or feedback from anyone's experience with a similar setup? Also, how much does an airbag system raise the trucks rear when at minimum pressure? Thanks in advance for any info or insight!

 

You have the right idea. I'm using a 6" lift the front and rear are level as it sits. Hooking up to a trailer with some weight will make it squat and I use the airbags to raise it back up. I did measure it at one point and I think the Firestone airbags I have can raise the rear a solid 3" with the brackets installed in the correct spots. I'm not sure what pressure that is, I have two pressure valves on my onboard air that I just adjust until it's level.

 

I guess my question is...does the truck still sit level with airbags at lowest psi? Not so much how high they raise the truck but how much they raise it at lowest setting.

 

Where did you get the lift for the Dually Installed?

 

Hello, I am very interested in what kind of tires you run and what kind of spacers you run? I have a 2015 350 and I would like to lift it and put bigger tires on it using stock rims.
