That is the kit i have on my truck and i absolutely love it. My buddy has an 04 f350 and he did a 2" add a leaf and he barely got an inch out of it because the add a leafs sag with that heavy front end and they can be noisey when they rub on the factory leafs. We both have the same snow plows and when we hook them up my truck is every bit of 2 inches higher than his in the front. With this system the only way it can sag is if your factory leafs start to and your ride quality will stay factory. And the reason for the rear blocks is because the f250's are already pretty level from the factory. You will not need new shocks with this kit and it has full installation instructions. I don't know how to post pictures but i have a couple in my gallery.

 

I have an 04 F350 4x4 with the leaf spring front end, do you have any suggestions to level my rig out?

 

Yours would be the same kit minus the rear blocks. The 250's have a 2" block factory and the 350's have a 4" thats why the f350 have a much more noticeable rake (but i'm not sure if the DRW are 4's or not, they could be larger, you will have to measure) Just figure out how much you want the front end to come up because i know that kit comes in 2.5 and 3" here is the link to just the front 2.5" leveling kit.......

If you are towing alot or loading up your bed with a lot of weight you might not want to level it out perfectly because then when you load it the front end will be up in the air which will put your center of gravity farther to the rear and your steering can feel loose.

 

hey thanks man

 

so I'm from utah, they do not let you have any blocks in the front. so I need to go with a leaf package. I found a local shop that would do it for $350 or so installed that is more then I have right now. I saw some add a leafs for 129 on the net. I have a brother that works for a ford shop. so I can do the work my self. but I don't know what I all need. any help. 04 f250 looking for 2'' level kit.

 

I have an '03 (same exact suspension) and I went with this kit:
Ford Suspension Lift Kits
I absolutely LOVE it. It rides better than stock (depending on your miles, if you're still on the factory shocks, which I was at 165k miles, you'll definitely need and want and love new shocks). The only thing I don't like that is driving me crazy is that the front now sits about 1 1/4" higher than the rear, which I'm going to correct with 350 blocks in about 2 weeks. I wasn't as concerned with it sitting exactly level as I was with just getting it up off the ground so I could clear 35" tires. I kinda want the back to sit just a bit higher actually, that way if I put a load in the back or hook up a trailer it won't make my truck sit higher in the front again. Just remember, when it comes to lifts, you get what you pay for. I personally hated the factory springs too. They just didn't look like they should be holding up that huge diesel engine. I'm also not very partial to shackle kits. In my opinion, a suspension kit replaces the suspension. All these lift companies now are trying to say that a suspension lift is anything that tinkers with the suspension (for example coil spring spacers...even though I know our trucks don't have coil springs, that was just an example). I went with Rough Country because they give you the new springs, new shocks, and everything you need to do it yourself pretty easy. And everything is GREAT quality...except maybe the shocks, but I plan on doing Bilsteins all the way around anyways. Just my $0.02

But if you do go with Rough Country, order over the phone, not the computer. I called and told them that I was planning on ordering right then but didn't realize that the shipping was going to be $70 (which after getting the leafs and feeling how heavy they were, I think it probably should have been like $700!), and they bumped it down to $20. Just try and dicker with them and they'll cut you a deal some way or another. And they ship super fast too and have AWESOME customer service.

 

thanks that was some good info. I've got your link book marked.

 

I think your stock shocks will work

 

I don't want to touch the back. How high of a spacer block can I put without the front being higher than the rear?

 

Blocks in the front are bad. Illegal here in GA too. When I bought my 04 the po had installed some homemade stuff up front so I ordered a kit from National Tire and Wheel.

99-04 FORD SUPERDUTY 2 INCH SUSPENSION LIFT KIT SPECIAL @ NTW

This is the kit, with shocks and all. No lift for the back (not needed).

Truck rides great and feels a lot more stable up front than the crazy blocks dude put on there. I am running 285-75-16s on it right now with plans on going to 326-65-18s (I have the wheels just need the tires).
