Advice...
2000, f-250, 4x4, crew cab, short wheel base, 7.3
Currently has a Zone offroad leveling kit.
The lift has settled and i dont think it will be decreasing anytime soon. The leveling kit gave nearly 4.5 inches of lift to the front of my truck.
Well now the rear end sits a little low. I'd rather go with the back riding a little higher than the front as i tow a lot. I do not want it too be exaggerated but im tired of the up hill look i have.
I dont want add a leafs, or bags. I want simple and cheap. The truck is absolutely fine and needs nothing as far as performance goes, just something to make it look like a 4x4 again.
Im planning on blocks... Is 5" too high? Or would 4" be enough?
Also, can anyone put me in the right direction as far as companies goes? Thanks in advance, folks.

Any update on this? Did you try different blocks? Just ordered mine today after talking to them for a while I kind of got the answeres I needed.
Your truck, how many miles are on it? They said that the spring wear would determine if you get extra lift. They stated I may get a little more, but not much, and no less than 2.5.

Are they fast at shipping, or do they take a while?

Yea post up what you can on the pictures. Im reading forum after forum, and theres guys talking about 2.5 leveling kits and there running 4 inch blocks and there sitting level. None of the kits were this one, but now im getting nervous. I still want a rack on mine cause I tow. Thats why I was going to go to the 4 inch blocks to have basically the same rack as stock, just higher.

Hell I better not get that much. , Im doing this without shocks or anything else and at that im thinking I would change out all that. Ill see what I get when I put mine on, but they stated I wont get less than 2.5, maybe just a tad more depends on spring already on it. I cant see me getting 2 more inches about what it says.
