Why does it kill the mpg and power so much if it is only about an inch bigger than the stock 20 tires?

My 16 F350 WITH H/D svc frt coil springs sets DEAD LEVEL which is 1.5” higher in front than Standard Coil Springs.
So YES it has Increased ride height : as it plainly states on the dealers computer when you order that option.

So, are there blocks in the rear that can be removed ( or replaced with the correct size ) to bring it down to level with the front? -or-
Since the F350 already comes with a rear sway bar, will ordering one with ONLY the snow plow package provide a level truck ( I am guessing that the camper package affects the rear springs) ??

I run F450 7500lb front coils and I dont have a plow. Gave me a firmer ride and the same lift as the previous 1 1/2 keveling coils I was running. These ride really decent considering they are 7500 lb springs.

I don’t run a snow plow either, I am going for level ( and on the high side as I liked those old ‘hi boys’ from the 70s)...my 2004 F350 crew cab had the snow plow package and sat high and level, I am going for the same effect in 2019.

Yep you loose the Negative Caster when the radius arms pivots down from longer springs or leveling blocks.
4” lift or more need radius (control) arm brkts dropped to correct this.
Don’t forget an adjustable tracking arm or drop brkt to center the front axle up.

Snow plow prep probably cheapest way to get a more leveled look. I had it on my '19 F350 before I reverse leveled with Kelderman stock ride air suspension kit. Not a low expense option though but very awesome all around.
