Hello all!

So after hours of research online, on this forum, and on several other ford truck forums I am struggling to find the answer I am looking for, so thought I would post it here as you guys appear the most logical.



Without getting into every single detail, I have decided to make the jump from GMC to either a Ford F-250 or a Ram 2500. After months of research I believe the SuperDuty is the truck for me, however I am limited in my garage clearance and wish to garage the truck full time as I live in the Rockies. A 35” tire is as small as I would be willing to go on a diesel, given the shear size of these trucks combined with my annual snow fall (just personal opinion), so rather than purchasing a stock F250 and trying to put 35s on it, the tremor package appears to have just about everything I need without having to go aftermarket (which is my preference to maintain the ride quality and other capabilities of the truck).

So finally my question - it appears the F250 Tremor peaks at 83in in height. This is the same height as my garage clearence. I’m in search of an inch (insert joke here). I’ve read that reverse leveling of the tremor is an option but have not seen evidence of actual height measurements after doing so. My assumption is that by properly inflating my wheels below dealership overinflation combined with removing the larger of the two blocks in the back of the tremor package will give me a couple of inches to make for a comfortable clearance (again my level of comfort).



Is there anyone on this forum that can confirm the height of their Tremor after removing one of the back blocks? If not, would you happen to know someone who has done this and can provide a quick measurement.

This may seem a bit silly to some folks, but ultimately if I cannot make it fit, I will have to go the Cummins which ultimately is several inches lower stock and will easily allow for the additions of 35s.



Thanks in advance for those willing to take the time to respond. Sort of at a dead end and it’s a big deal to me in making such a large decision. Much appreciated.

 

Why not increase the height of your garage door and be done with it once and for all? I used to have a 7’ tall door and had the opening enlarged and now have an 8’ tall door so my F350 has no clearance issues. Keep in mind that if you have snow on your approach, it will further reduce your clearance.

 

Thanks for the idea. Largely because that will be expensive and I am hoping to find a solution without having to do that. Again, can go the Ram route without having to do construction.

 

I dont own a Tremor so I cant give you any measurements, but I also have never heard of them having 2 blocks under each spring pack. I get the impression that thats irrelevant anyway, 1 block 2 blocks, no blocks, you just want an overall measurement.

There are other existing threads on here with Tremor owners who went that route, if you can find thise threads Im sure they would be happy to pull tape.

 

Hopefully you can find the measurements you need, if it were me I would probably go the F250 route and run the stock tires until the snow flies then get a set of 285-75x18 tires in you preferred tread on and call it good. I will be doing something like this with the F-350 I have on order except I will be getting wheels (possibly take offs to help the price and maintain factory offset) and getting studded tires to run through the winter and then swapping back to the stock next summer.

 

Tremor package has two blocks in the rear. I believe a 2” and a 1”.
Have scoured this forum and am unable to find a height measurement after removing one of the blocks (reverse leveling). If you find one that would be greatly appreciated.

This YouTube video gives you and idea of what I am talking about, but he appears to be guesstimating his height.

 

Yes, going the F250 non-tremor route works, but from my calculations, once I put 35s on it it’s within 1/2” of the same height as the Tremor package. May be my only option if I don’t go the 2500 route.

 

I haven't watched the video yet, I will. Here is a photo of an f250 with Tremor. It has a single block sitring on the spring perch. If I remember right from another thread, its 3 1/4" just like the 17-19 f250.



And my stock 2019 for comparison sake.

 

my stock diesel tremor is 81" at the roof and 82" for those weird black nub things at the back of the roof - but it does have 950lbs in the bed.

 

My F350 Tremor only has one block . I think the 250 Tremor is the same as the 350. I has the 7.3 the 6.7 may be different. I’m not sure how tall my truck is , been meaning to measure it.

 

Let me know once you do. Very much appreciated.

 

Well played. Got excited for a moment there...

 

Interesting. I wonder wth the guy in the video is talking about then. This is helpful. Basically means reverse leveling won’t be an option for me, as I can’t remove the entire block and maintain operational efficiency. Ugh. What a pain this has been. All over a couple of inches (insert joke again).

 

No, you can replace the factory block with a shorter one. Whether that be from a non Tremor f250 or an aftermarket version, its easily doable.

I checked out the video and read some comments. He says the block he removed was approximately 3", that and the way it sits leads me to believe he just removed the factory block entirely. Im personally not a fan of that look, but it might work for you.
As for the 2nd block, I think hes trippin haha.

 

I agree.. thw new non tremors have a 2" block.. just replace the 3 1/4" and you'll b sitting bout level with that leveling kit already in there
