Rear lift ???

Sorry this might be wordy. So I just bought AirLift air bag kit #57396 and ReadyLift 4" block kit #66-2014 for my F250. Right now the front end looks to sit higher then the rear. I have the snow plow pkg. But no camper pkg due to 20" wheels. I am looking for a slight rake towards the front I need the air bags for my TT. Hitch weight is 1150#. My question is if I do both will it jack the rear end to much? I know the blocks will raise it 2". Do the air bags raise it any more when, just driving with the 5# of air in them?

Thanks
Tim

with 5# of air in my bags the truck height does not change. I need at least 15# before I see and change and it is very minimal (like an 1/8")

Get rear blocks from a F350. That will give you an additional inch of rake towards the front and won't look bad when unloaded. If you're going to install rear airbags you really don't need to lift the rear at all, unless you really like the rear being higher than the front. The air bags will level it out when towing your TT with no need for the taller blocks.
