After I get the parts in and installed next week, I may have (depending if I like the rake) a set of 2 inch I can get rid of.

I am looking for a set of 2" blocks to lower my F350. If you still have yours.

I would then have a set of 4" available.

Thanks

I have a set of F250 blocks left over from raising the back of my truck when I put a service body on it. PM me.

Blocks

I did the swap. Went to F250 2" blocks on my F350 to drop the rear slightly for my 5th wheel.

Traded plus U bolts for $60

No problem installation about two years ago.

I know this a couple year of thread but it got me wondering.

If you take the 4" block of the back of a 350 and replace them with the 2" block of a 250 are you reducing the load carrying cap of that truck or just the height of the rear bumper?

If it's just the bumper height then to me that would indicate the 250 and 350 are same truck sans a number on a door label with 8800 on one and what 9800 on the other?

am i missing something?

Everything I've "heard" says the only difference is that 4" block... but I'm no expert on the differences. My tailgate has a 350 badge and the fenders have the 250 badges - so I'm covered either way.

The same spring codes were available on both the F250 and F350. In many instances the block between the springs and axle tubes are the only difference between an F250 and F350 besides the fender/tailgate badges, sticker on the lower B-pillar, and cost of insurance (F250s are often higher because more people own them since they feel they don't "need" a "one-ton" even though they are essentially identical vehicles).

The reason for the taller blocks? The rear doesn't appear to "sag" as much with the same amount of weight over the rear axle.
