4 inch blocks would be stock for an F-350.

See if you can find any numbers on your springs. Mine is a procomp 6 1/2" lift and if you look on the top of the spring (looking thru wheel well) you can see a number, so I typed that in plus pro comp lift and found the lift on the pro comp web site. Yours should also have a part number on them somewhere I would think...worth a try...

I'm betting you have 6" springs.

i'd say 8" judging by the little pic.

EDIT: the more i look, and it being a gasser, 6" might be closer. i wouldn't bet all my chips on either guess, lol.

I compared the Icon 6" lift kit to the Icon 8" lift kit and noticed this difference:

6" Lift Kit - 1" Bump Stop Spacers
1999 - 2004 Ford Super Duty F250 / F350 6" All Spring System - ICON Vehicle Dynamics

8" Lift Kit - 3" Bump Stop Spacers
1999 - 2004 Ford Super Duty F250 / F350 8" Suspension System - ICON Vehicle Dynamics

This assumes that you have a complete springs lift kit from Icon. Check your bump spot spacers...
