2020+ F250 vs F350 box height

I need to find a 3/4 ton with a bit lower box height, when I measure my f350 it sits at 36.5 inches, does the F250 sit the same or lower?

How much lower you looking for? You could change out the rear block..and lose a inch or two... you could go down wheel size..from 20's to 18's, a tire size ... What are you trying to accomplish>

but in general both models should be the same height

I think the c&c models sit lower too. Or the 2wd versions. Lots of options.

need for a work truck that runs a precision piece of soil sampling equipment that really works well at 34-36 box height.

Was curious as I remember talk of the 2020 srw crew 4x4 f350 sitting lower than 2019- just wasn’t sure if 2020 f250 sat lower than f350, as I thought there was some discussion that it was supposed to be couple inches lower.

I have a 2020 F250 with the 275 65 R20's. I was told the 20's sit lower by 1" vs the 19's. I'll measure mine. I just ordered a Carli level lift which is 3" so I need a F350 rear block..which I was told is about 3.5" on a 2020. My rear block is 2". I just installed 295 65 r20's yesterday which is 35.3" vs the 34.1 Michelins so my bed height will be 5/8" taller do to the standard tires that came on the truck.

I would order smaller rear blocks and a set of U bolts. Should take about 30-45 min to replace. Looks like a 1" smaller block would get you in the zone of 34-36"

36 3/4 maybe 36 5/8. subtract 5/8" for the taller tires......so right at 36" If you want to trade blocks let me know. That is as low as they get with 20" tires on a 2020 F250 with 275 65 R20's = 34.1 tall tires. I also do not have any camper package, no FX4....

I happened to have a tape on me when doing some concrete work today and measured my tailgate down height when I had a 100 pound bag of sand on the tailgate and nothing else in the bed (maybe similar to your equipment?). It was exactly at 36".

I have:

2020 F-250 Lariat Ultimate 4x4
CCLB
7.3L gas engine
Camper package (extra leaf spring, sway bar, 1-up front coil spring)
LT275/65 BSW 18" A/S tires on 18" Lariat wheels
NOT FX4, NOT Tremor

350s sit slightly lower than 250s. Very slightly....maybe 1/3 of an inch.
