F350 Blocks

I've got a 2012 F250 Crew Cab and am hunting some F350 3" SRW Rear Block with U-Bolts.

I know some of you have lifted yours and your old set is just sitting around in the garage.

Omaha Nebraska location. So shipping would likely be needed. Hit me up if you have some and what you want for them

Thanks in advance

Mike

I sent you a message on FB (if this is the Bovinet I know in Nebraska)
Small world huh ?

I was looking for F350 blocks for awhile but ended up going a different route.
What are trying to do with your truck ?

Small world yes.

What I'd like to do is add a 2.5" leveling kit and add 1" to the rear

Looking for a little bit nose high ?

A F350 rear block will add 1.75" to the rear.
Also you really shouldn't re-use the ubolts. They can be re-used but are designed for a one time use (so I have been told).

I went a different route and tried to keep mine sitting level.
I went with a 2" lift with the Bilstein Leveling Kit and Ready Lift 4" rear blocks.

I'm looking to level it out and add about 1" in height. My garage door is what is limiting me from going higher. I've only got a few inches before hitting my 7' door

2.5" lift in the front and 1" lift in the back will make a F250 set level, with an additional inch of height.

F350 blocks are roughly 3" and F250 are roughly 2".

Replacing the factory blocks in a F250 with factory block from a F350 will give you 1" of rear lift.

Mine was the same before I lifted it. I think it rides better with the plow prep springs as well.

I am sure each truck is abit different not to mention the options of the plow prep or having the camper springs in the rear.

F250 blocks are 2" and I have seen the F350 blocks measure 3.7" and 3.75".
F350 blocks are roughly closer to 4" than to 3".

mbovinet - Guess the best bet would be to probably just measure your truck as it sits now. Then you can see exactly what you need to get her adjusted to your needs.

I was told, depending on cab/bed and SRW/DRW configuration the F350 rear blocks were either 3" or 4". Maybe I was given some bad info but I've read several posts stating this. 2wd F350 come with 2" blocks I believe.

Guess a call to the dealer will tell for sure. Sure wouldn't be the first time I was wrong....

If there is not a 3" rear block then you're going to have to refigure your lift Mike. Time to cut the garage door opening a bit bigger and get 4" blocks...

I have heard the F350 DRW comes with a 2" block, same as the F250.
Not sure on the other cabs/bed combos.

Good luck on getting the dealer to confirm anything. When I was looking into the F350 blocks, the dealer tried to tell me all blocks, on all the trucks, were the same BUT couldn't tell me how tall they were.

Good thing we have FTE to find out what Ford doesn't know about it's own trucks.
