2" Lift

Hi guys,
I plan on getting a 1-3/4" to 2" level kit in the front, add-a-leaf, but what would the best route be to get a 2" lift all the way around the truck? Im looking for quality but something relatively cheap.

I used a F-350 rear block to level out my front leveling kit. When I bought the truck it had a pro comp leveling kit on it. The front set just a little higher than the rear. The F-350 block made it sit perfect.

Okay. My front end sits 2" lower than the rear so i want to get a 2" add-a-leaf and then 2" all the way around. I did do a search and 2" block for the rear is what I have found but what about the front?

Maybe someone else will chime in. I have heard of X code springs but don't know anything about them.

Is everything stock now? If so, then what you want is either a leveling kit or X code springs in the front and replace the rear stock f250 blocks with 4 inch or stock f350 blocks.

The x code springs aren't really a full 2" lift, they are just stiffer than the V codes, therefore dot about an inch higher. The pro comp leveling kit sits a full 2" higher, it's a while new leaf pack ( mine has twin shocks).

No, the rear blocks are 2" for a 250 and 4" for a 350. If you go with 4" blocks in the rear, that's a 2" gain. The X code springs will only get you about an inch in the front, so if you want a full 2" you need either an add a leaf or a new leaf pack that is designed to give you 2" of lift.
