F350 leveling question
I have an 07 F350 with a 6.0 and the front is somewhat lower than the rear, I'm not sure if this is do to the weight of the engine over time weakening the coil springs or if it was designed this way. I don't want to lower the rear so to level the truck or at least raise the front some what is the most I could expect to raise it without having to change any of the front end alignment settings and/or changing any parts pertaining to alignment? Does anyone have a link to spacer blocks for the coils if it is possible to raise it that way? I believe a couple of inches would make a big difference if that is doable. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

There's literally dozens of leveling kits, fairly inexpensive, just Google it.
I chose to remove the factory lift block to lower the rear, quite happy with it, lift blocks are literally the worst suspension technology ever developed.

That's probably good advice but.......lol, I never haul anything in the bed and the heaviest tongue weight I expect to encounter is my 35'T/T which, although I have never actually weighed it is less than 1000lbs. Even with the trailer hooked up without the load leveling bars the truck still is considerably lower in the front.
I have an F250 Regular cab long bed that sits dead level even with my 8'6" Fisher Vplow in the raised position and I see nothing visually on the front end different than my F350, and the difference in height is at the front, the rear is nearly the same.
I can live with the 350 as is but it would just look better level.
