Please help me figure this out

I bought my first diesel truck about 3 weeks ago. Joined FTE shortly after. Thanks to all for the info and fun reading. My wife hates FTE bc Im always reading on my phone...

2012, f250, 6.7, Tux. black, CC, FX4, Lariat Ultimate, Chrome Pack., Snow Plow prep package, 3.55. (I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

These threads Ive been reading about the Rancho shocks has got me going... I cant help but want to change my shocks, steering stabalizer, and rear blocks with a leveling kit. Epic and Big Sarge have made it very difficult for me to not want to change this stuff out.

Since my truck is a 250 Im supposed to have 2" rear spacers... I took a picture and was hoping you guys can assure me that what my truck has is 2" spacers.

To me it looks like there is 2 spacers stacked together creating a 4" block...

Please take a look and any info you can give will be a huge help.

On the axle is a perch, its welded to the axle, so the springs are located properly, with a block onto that has an ear for the bump stop. Yes you have 2 inch 250 blocks there. So now all you have to do is order them new shocks, steering damper.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the help.

My next stupid question....

If I put the 4" spacer in. Do I order a leveling kit and new shocks for a f350??? because my truck would then be sitting as a f350.

Does having the snow plow package change what Kind of leveling kit and shocks I need???

Maybe these are questions for whoever I buy my shocks and leveling kit from

Obviously I dont want to make any mistakes with my new 50+ thousand dollar truck.

Thanks in advance.
