Leveling Question

Hi Everyone,

Quick question on leveling,. I did search but not coming up with any answers to my question exactly. I have a 15 f350 kr 6.7 power stroke. It does have the snow plow prep. I was looking into the ready lift with the 2.5 lift but have concerns it may raise the front too much and then the back will be lower. Would this possible be true? I think the f350 rear blocks are around 3.5in. Any help or pictures of your current setup would be super helpful. Not set on ready lift ether. If you had experience with other brands I would love to hear about it. Thanks!!

Measure from the axle of the rear wheel to the fender vertically, do the same for the front and report back.

This should tell you the difference between the front and rear and remove tire size variable's.

I picked up an '01 F250 4x4 that the previous owner installed a level lift, 2.5" lift. When I measure along the belt line, the front is 1/2" higher than the rear and I notice it when looking at the truck.
The F250 uses a 2" block on the rear where the F350 uses a 4" block.

I did 2.5" on front and added 4" blocks on rear which gave me 1.5" rake I like it.

You could do the One Up Offroad coil levelers. Then you can set the height anywhere from 0-2.5 inches of lift. I've had these on my truck for a couple of years. I also use PMF fabricated rear blocks with air bag mounts. PMF makes their blocks in .5" increments and Trevor is fantastic to deal with.

Thanks everyone for the input. I put the 2.5 leaving kit on with 35 tires and it sits perfect.
