Is this a leveling kit?
I just bought my truck 2 months ago, it’s a Ford F350 2004 6.0 powerstroke and it's supposed to have a 2.5 inch leveling kit as of the previous owner.
The guy from national tire wholesale told me that my truck doesn't have a leveling kit and the leaf springs look like they are done as they are almost straight. I can’t find any pictures of stock front axles to compare. Just don't want to end up spending unnecessary money for things that don't need to be fixes.
I’m a newbie when it comes to trucks, furthermore I’m from Europe and don't have big trucks like that.
Thanks in advance for your support, appreciate any help.
Cheers, Stefan

That is a would be considered a 2 1/2in lift block, the rusty parts aren't stock. Lift blocks in the front are generally frowned on, lift springs or add a leaf lifts are how most trucks are lifted/leveled in the front. To be honest I would probably wouldn't worry about a 2 1/2in block but more than that I'd gladly spend the money, just my opinion not necessarily the best one.

The guy from national tire wholesale obviously has even less experience with real truck's than you. I'll pay a little more for a competent mechanic but prefer to do the research and do it my self, I can do it wrong cheaper LoL.
