Needed: 3" blocks for 93 F350

I have 4" blocks right now and want to lower the rear end. I am looking to buy or trade some 3" blocks. These are for my 94 F350 4x4. Thanks

i would go with add-a-leafs. you can get them for $80 on broncograveyard, but if you did some shopping you could probably get a better price

I think he was suggesting losing the block altogether and then using the add-a-leaves to level it.

i tried to look for lowering blocks but my computation machine is being redonkulous, and giving me problems. maybe check the local welding/machine/fabrication shop, might be able to cut em down. what's the deal? getting pissed about the"i'm made to tow and work" stance of ford trucks?

truck - 4" block + 3" add-a-leafs= lower truck, and no sagging with a load

an add a leaf won't do much more than 2- 2.5, and is not a solution to any thing other than a lack of funds. if you want to get the factory block out of the picture you can try to find custom springs for mucho$ or use 4 inch lift springs and you're back to stock. havent seen any 3 inch rear springs

check broncograveyard.com. 2.5-3" add-a-leafs from superlift. i know they work because my uncle has them for his 91 250 and i just ordered some for my 150. and my uncle hauls a loaded horse trailer...with blocks the *** end sagged like crazy, after he got the leafs, no problems even with the fully loaded gooseneck

i'm not talking about load leveling. add a leafs are a cheap *** way to fix a problem, are they better than blocks? no, i'd like to think the engineers at ford put a block there for a reason. is it better than stacked blocks? yes. and that's why they come with cheap lift kits.

guess i should have been more clear...



This is my truck. The rear end is higher than the front by about an inch or inch and a half. Right now i have a 4" flat block with a 1/4 to 1/2 " wedge for pinion angle. If i can find someone who has an extra set of stock tapered 3" blocks and wants to sell them for $20 or wants to trade for my blocks..... the backend will be level and problem solved.
 


Quick Reply: Needed: 3" blocks for 93 F350
