It can be leveled by hauling a pallet of bricks, 100 gallons of water, or whatever else weighs between 800 to 1,000 pounds. These rigs were meant to work hence the slight rake. ...

You won't find any "leveling kits" because they are a new thing for truck owners who treat them as passenger vehicles.

For F100s & F150 4x4s, Jeff's Bronco Graveyard offers "leveling coils"... Nothing for F250 4x4s however.

Removing a leaf from the rear springs will drop the back. If its a 4x4, adding a leaf to the front will raise it. Your local spring shop can probably help if that's what you want to do. The added front leaf may make the ride un-pleasant... and removing a rear will reduce load capacity.

Adding load leveling air bags to the rear can compensate for the missing leaf - inflate when loaded.
