Put the new blocks in last night. Bigger pita (by myself with floor jacks) than I thought it would be but got it done. Stupid pins didn't want to line up.

Still has a little bit of rake which I wanted.

Looks great! Which blocks did you go with? 2” OEM or other?

Thanks, the difference is subtle but it looks much better imo.

I used PMF blocks with their air bag brackets. Very happy with them.

PMF Reverse Level

PMF sells a reverse level block kit that include new u bolts and you can choose height you want.. You can also choose bump stops or airbag tangs *** well as if you have overload springs. Not the cheapest way to do it but i guess you sometimes have to pay to play.

here is a link

PMF kit I don’t need

Ive got a new PMF kit (1 1/2 blocks with 2.5 degree taper) I would like to sell. No u-bolts with the kit, but I may have proper ones depending on the trucks they are going on (350 or 250, with or without overloads). $150 shipped.

Went with 1.5" PMF blocks and Firestone 2600 air bags that sit on the springs so I could keep my factory bump stops.

pmf 1.5 drop and air bags

I went with 2016 4wd lift blocks, which lowered the rear about 1.75”!

Love the stance now!



Oh, also added a level kit from camburg

Block part # question

Hello again gang:
Getting ready to change rear springs('17 F350 SRW) and searching for lowering blocks.
Poking around the web, have noticed different last letters to the 6CZ3-5598 part #. Have seen three different last letters (6C3Z-5598-A, 6C3Z=5598-B, 6C3Z-5598-P) to the part #. What is difference with the last letters?
Again, THANK YOU for your help and information...David

trucks with tapered blocks require a different part number for each side. Flat blocks can be used on either side.

Has anyone just done away with the rear blocks and sat the springs on the axle and everything works?

The reason for this question is I have a 2020 F450 and it comes with 1” blocks and I would like to level the rear end by removing the blocks. But I am concerned thAt when I do will everything line back up properly.

I just removed the 2 " blocks from my 01 F250 4x4, this put the springs on the axle spring pad same as the 4x2, zero issues.
I also replaced the bump stops with Timbren springs.

I had them sold on FB market place, then a friend wanted (I thought), but ended up not wanting. I’ll sell now.
