Really? I didn't know any Ford truck came with blocks. I wonder how big the blocks are on the 4x4's?

Thank you! I think it deffinately looks more "trucky", and I like trucky!

I don't plan on taking the lift off any time real soon. I have bigger issues to deal with first. You know how that is

Oh heck, if factory blocks is what you want, there are many options:

- F250 4x4 use 2" tall 3" wide blocks.
- F350 4x4 pickups use 3.5" or 4" tall 3" wide blocks.
- F350 pickups with overload springs have 1" tall 3" wide spacer blocks between the main pack and the overload leaf, those can be used as 1" lift blocks (least I do so in my truck).
- F350 cab-chassis with overload springs may have 1" tall 2.5" wide spacer blocks between the main and overload packs, those could be used as lift blocks on F150 2wd trucks with 2.5" wide springs.
