New springs. Looking for an F250 block (I think)

I got some new rear springs for my 2000 f350 srw. It's a stock spring with another leaf added to be around a 3600 lbs spring. My stock ones are plan wore out. According to my spring maker he think I will gain 3.5-4 inches over my stock wore out springs. I don't want to gain that much height. Maybe only around 1.5-2 inches so I think the f250 block would work. Are the f250 blocks different from the drw? Also is anyone interested in a trade for my f350 blocks if I go that route? Thanks

I put new springs in the front and I'm level, but a load makes Stinky squat like a puppy puddling on the carpet. I'd love to swap blocks with you, but time is my enemy right now - what with selling a house and moving and all.

Yes they are. IIRC the 250 blocks are 2" and the 350 blocks are 4-4.5" tall.

That's my problem Tugly is I was level before which was ok but put a load in and it was a mess. So I'm trying to get the stiffer spring along with a little rake back. And I can't get to high now that I'm towing a gooseneck from time to time. I'm hoping to get my old blocks out by early next week for anyone looking at a possible trade
