4 inch rear blocks

Will the 4 inch rear oem blocks out of a 00 F350 DRW, work in a 00 F250 SRW?

Yes they will. My E99 F250 came stock with the 10cm blocks. You will need new u-bolts to install the 10cm blocks.

Those I will get. Is there any problem with using a used block? I cant justify the 100 dollars a piece the dealership wants for them.

Used blocks are no problem. Used U-bolts are a roll of the dice.

Not a problem. I replaced my 10cm blocks with used OEM 5 cm blocks. Wanted a more level truck. With V code springs in front the rear is only an inch higher. I gave away the 10cm blocks or they would have been your's. Someone who has done a lift and has some 10cm blocks might chime in or you can start another thread asking if anyone has them.

Sounds like a good deal. Measure one of the u-bolts or trace around it on a piece of cardboard so you know what to get. He should just gve you one of the u-bols. They're only worth their weight as scrap. Don't forget new flange nuts for the new u-bols.

SRW and DRW will have two different axle tube sizes I believe, so the ubolts will be different sizes.

The U-Bolts they all come sold seperately, so I should just be able to go to my local auto shop around here take one outside to see if its the same as the one on there, just 2 inches longer. Or at least thats my thinking, but my thinking just got me in trouble and I had to take back some autozone blocks that were to skinny. I need to quit thinking and leave that up to yall.

Does the parts truck and your truck have the same axle? If so then it is best to have a u-bolt with you when you buy. You want to make sure they are threaded far enough down to have enough thread to get them properly torqued.

Could not tell you. I have even yet to see the truck or anything he owns. I may make the drive out there tomorrow to get them. And ill be taking a little extra money in case he has something out there I should also/want to buy.

I think the only difference when I replaced mine with the taller one was length not axle tube size , but cud be mistaken.
