Isn’t it an inch or 1.5”?

I don't believe that there is any difference.

How small are the 350 blocks? 17-19 F-250 had 3" (I measure 3.25" at the tallest point), I'm almost positive that the 2020+ F-250 have a 2" block.

I have nothing to measure but the 350 has an extra leaf spring and a thicker axle so I assume they would be a different size.

If the 250 has the 6.7 and the HCTT package, it has the same springs and axle.

It's a 2" block on both. I've compared my F350 with my brother's F250. My truck has 5 total springs in the rear, his has 4, but the height is almost identical.

I thought that was the case with the blocks. Does your brother's truck have any option packages that would effect the suspension, and is it the same year as yours? I ask because the standard F-250 spring pack is 3 spring.

I wonder if the F-350 spring pack is slightly flatter(less arch) making it sit the same as a 250 when unladen.

Both trucks have the Camper/Snow Plow package.

Ahhh ok, that explains the extra leaf on his 250.

Ok... talking about springs... can someone clarify how many springs these are... I know it sounds silly, but I am not really sure if the very bottom bar is counted as a spring. Also, is the F250 with HCTT not the same as a standard 350 spring wise?

So, here is a 2021 F250 Lariat with the HCTT package. Is this 3 springs and a helper, or 4 springs and a helper? Or is it just called 4 springs, or 5 springs?


And here is a 2022 F250 XLT without the HCTT package. Does this one have 2 or 3 springs?

First picture with HCTT is 5 leaf total, bottom is 3 leaf. 250 with camper pkg would look like the top pic minus the top helper/overload leaf.

Thanks! This is what I thought... so my 250 with HCTT and snow plow/camper package will look just like the top pic, which is also the same set up as the (standard) 350.
