switching suspension blocks

I have an 2008 f250 sc with 35s and want to add a leveling kit and was wondering switching out the rear blocks to the ones from an f350 will be sufficent. If so, what parts will I need (ie: part numbers).

I was thinking it maybe cheaper to purchase the blocks from an online vendor and also a frony leveling kit (around an inch or inch1/2). My biggest reason for this is because the front tires rub when making sharp turns.

thanks

Try Top Gun Customz. They have many leveling kit options for you including 1.5" for only $49.95. You can also get rear blocks in whatever size you want like the 3" blocks with u-bolts for only $55.95. You could do front and rear for around $130 including shipping.
I recommend calling them and telling them exactly what you want to do. They are very helpful and will steer you right. I called about a set of rear blocks that no other vendor could tell me were stacked on factory blocks or not. Top Gun Customz knew the answer and got me a set of blocks that do not stack for less money including u-bolts!

I cleared 35's on my 06 F250 with just a 1 inch spacer up front and stock F250 blocks... I now have F350 blocks and 2.5" leveling coils now and plenty of clearance for my 35's. Looks much better with this setup too.

35x12.50x18 General Grabber AT2's on stock wheels, F350 Block's in the rear and 2.5" leveling coils up front. Even more clearance


this is with my old setup: Stock F250 Blocks, 1" coil spacer up front and cleared 35x12.50x18 Cooper Discoverer STT's, NEVER Rubbed at all.
