rear block

2019 F250 XLT w/FX4 package. I did a measurement in the garage of front and rear gaps and found front to be 1.5" low, which seemed off based on reading the forums of everyone else's gap. So, went to rear and measured the block, and it is only 2 inches... Most I have read on here are 3.5 inches. Since it is only 1.5 inch rake, and it does not look that bad, I have decided there is no need to level. I want some rake but it is not very noticeable. I will be putting in the rear wheel well liners, and putting on my 34" tires, so it will help some... Anyone else with a 19 notice this????

I'll have to check again later, but I could swear I measured my rear block at 3" even. Ill post up later when I get a chance to re measure.

Is that for the 17-19? Ford specs show the F250 being slighter higher than the F350, so having a 1" taller block, along with additional springs doesn't really jive with that.

Here is a 2019 F250 CCSB 6.7 rear block and then the same setup on a 2020. It looks like the 2019 is 3" and the 2020 is 2". What does yours look like? Is it a used truck that someone "reverse leveled" with a shorter block?

Too dark right now to go look, but not a used truck. Bought a month ago with 9 miles on the clock...

not sure what the heck I was looking at before, but I did a re-measure and they are indeed 3 1/4 like yours. Guess the snow plow springs are keeping the rake a little less. Will have to wait and see if they settle, anyone know how many miles before settlement. I am still under 500 since it is not driven every day....

That would have been helpful if you had mentioned the snow plow springs in your first post.

As for sag, dont know, I didn't measure mine when new. At just under 4k miles I have 3" rake, not snow plow springs though.
