Dropping the Rear
First tech post so bear with me please...
Understand I need to replace the 4"blocks with 2" blocks, got it. Question I have is it as straight forward as removing the wheel, loosen the u-bolts, push out the 4" block and slide in the 2" and re-tighten U-bolts?
2003 F350 SD 4x4...new to me. Man, this is a truck!
Thanks,
Bib

Mostly. I use 2 floor jacks. One to lift the rear of the truck, usually under the receiver, and the other jack to raise and lower each side of the axle near the u-bolts. You're only problem may be that the existing u-bolts don't have enough thread to tighten back down on the shorter blocks.
