i know this has been discussed numerous times,but I can't find it anywhere. I'm going to level my truck and I know I need 4 inch 350 blocks but what about the front?

You can either go with a spacer of some kind or an actual leveling coil.

If your looking to "level" the truck, usually a front coil spacer or new leveling coil spring is installed. The rear of the truck doesn't need to be lifted.

Most go with a 2" or 2.5" lift in the front, whether that be from a coil spacer or coil spring.

I didn't like the slight sag look, so I decided to also put a 4" rear block in the back.

Now it has a little rake in the truck.

F350 rear blocks are 3.5".

Did you go with a 2 or 2.5? Cause the measurements I'm getting there's only 1.5 difference in mine now.

This is the leveling kit I went with for my 2006 F-350. Not hard to install. Although id did ball joints and the track bar ball joint and seals all at the same time.

I have 2.5" front coils, with 4" rear blocks.

Before the 4" rear blocks, my front was higher than my rear by 3/4".

Now with my setup, my rear is about 1.25" higher in the rear. And thats without my airbags inflated.
