Is my 99 SD Lifted?

My rear appears to be a few inches higher than the front and there is a 2" or so block between the springs and the axle. I had started to check on leveling kits, but then noticed that a lot of your trucks have the same posture as mine. And since a leveling kit is readily available it seems to enforce my conclusion that a stock SD is higher in the rear.

Is there a benefit to install the leveling kit?

Thanks,
wm

This is true. Stock rear is higher than stock front.

Mostly just looks from what I know. Though I could be wrong, I don't know of any other benefit.

Leveling kits are usually just for looks and allowing a bigger tire combo. On a leveled f250 you can run 315s instead of the stock 265.

looks or bigger tire is the reason for the kit. most lift kits level the truck. 350 sits higher in the back than the 250 because it has a bigger block
