Need help also adding 1-2" in back
OK- been reading a lot but still confused.
I have a 2001 F250SD Crew cab 4x4. Love the truck.
I'd like to add a few inches in back since it looks as though it sits a little higher in front.
I've read about- Airbags, blocks, shocks, springs etc.
What is the easiest and cheapest way for me to go?
The truck has the factory 2" blocks now.
Also - Will adding blocks or anything else jeopardize my future towing?? We are thinking of buying a Travel Trailer in the near future.

The easiest, cheapest way to go is blocks. Your F-250 came stock with the 2" blocks, so you can buy the blocks for an F-350 from your local Ford Dealer (they are 4" tall). The stock 4" F-350 blocks will not effect your towing at all. You can get the new u-bolts from the dealer as well.
Hope this helps.

Shoot I am always too late. Blocks-under$100 Airbags-$500-$700
plus install. Only thing with blocks is that you may begin experience axle wrap but unless you have tires over 35" or a very powerful truck I wouldn't worry.
