What can I do to correct the rear end sitting low due to the plow package option? The truck is new is this norm?

Doenst sound normal, my 250 sat nice and level, and if anything, 1/2 higher in the rear, but un noticable.

Stock 250 usually sits about an inch to an inch and a half *** high, with the ex springs giving you around 1 1/2" of added hieght it pretty much levels it out.

How much are you talking?? could you step up to the 350 rear block to make it level???

My 02 F250 SD has the plow package and it sits level when not loaded....Only squats when I hitch up the RV...... Check out my thread about how do you stop squating.... I think some folks have mentioned this problem there...

I just noticed it today, have had the truck 2 weeks. I'll have to measure to be sure. It looks like 1/2 to 1 in. lower in back. The look is bumming me out.

I have never seen a nose high superduty either
unless loaded as stated before!

I would investigate this fully something is not right!

Measure the distance between the helper springs and the rubber bumper that they will hit when loaded ! give us the measurment.

Could be that south of the border steel again !

I just went out to measure it. It is 3 3/4 in. on the rear of the helper spring. Thats from the top of the leaf to the rubber bumper.

My mistake on where to measure!

We need the measurement from the rubber snubber on the frame to the block (theres a arm that the snubber hits ) under your springs .

Sorry

Does your truck have a rear swaybar?
