2.5 inch leveling kit on 04 f250, rear blocks??

I put a leveling kit on my 04 ford f250. Definitely took care of my front end sagging problem. Truck looks good but the back seems to be a little lower than the front and was wondering if I should install rear f350 blocks on it? And if I do what size to go with it? I found 4 inch rear blocks online but wondered if those would be too tall on it? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I did it, works great. I did 4" blocks with tabs welded on the mimic the bump stop tangs on the OEM blocks, with OEM u-bolts. Re-used my stock nuts and kept the original shocks.

I ended up removing them because I removed the front 2" leveling kit I did (next set of tires cleared without the leveling kit). I would recommed getting the correctly tapered blocks. I didn't have any problems, but I guess long term it could cause pinion or driveshaft u-joint issues if you use the wrong set.

If you have one of the following:
Crew Cab Short Bed (156" Wheelbase)
Super Cab Long Bed (158" Wheelbase)
Crew Cab Long Bed (172" Wheelbase)

Then use these part #s:
Blocks: F81Z5598-DA Qty: 2
U-Bolts: N803770S436 Qty: 4
Nuts: N620485S441 Qty: 8


If you have one of the following:
Super Cab Short Bed (142" Wheelbase)
Regular Cab Long Bed (137" Wheelbase)

Then use these part #s:
Left Tapered Block: F81Z5598FA Qty: 1
Right Tapered Block: F81Z5598GA Qty: 1
U-bolts: 5C3Z5705AA Qty: 4
Nuts: N620485S441 Qty: 8

So most likely the back end would even out with the 4" blocks?
