Front higher then rear ?

I seem to always find threads about raising the front to level the truck.. My 2008 F250 has the opposite issue thought very small but Im very OCD...
anyway any reason why the rear of mine would be a tad lower.. The truck did come with snow plow package would that do it..I saw a rear 1 inch leveling block wondering if that would help or so they make air shocks for the back?

thanks
Not a biggy just wondering

Ps Scott

Do you have the snow plow package? I've seen a lot of F250 with the snow plow prep where the front was slightly higher than the rear due to the heavy front springs.

My 2016 F250 seems to have the same thing, just slightly higher in the front than the rear. I'm going to add a leveling kit and 0.5" taller blocks in the rear than the front so 2.5"F 3.0" rear

Had the same problem with my 2011 F250 gas with snow plow package. The F250's come with 2" blocks in the rear springs. Have the dealership put F350 blocks in the rear springs. They are 4". I had it done and was much happier with how it looked. The snow plow package is a heavier front spring and that is why the front sits higher than the rear

You could put the standard springs in the front to lower the front a bit and get the benefit of a slightly better ride. Usually good for about an 1".

If you're looking for 5400 lb front springs I have a set that were taken out of my 2013. This truck came from Florida, no snow plow package and 2" rear blocks. It sat too low so I had the dealer put in 6200 lb front springs and the 4" rear blocks. Brought it up almost a full 2". The heavier front springs did not change the ride much if any. Make you a great deal on the springs and hardware.
