How much lift?

Can anyone tell me how much lift my F350 has? I’m wanting to order some new shocks and don’t know what length to get.



The front has 2 added leaves.

The rear has a block that is at least 5 inches.

Also, which seals do I need to order for my front axle. The axle seals seem to be leaking.

The rear might be stock. Or just over. Youd be better off measuring the eye to eye on the shock to see what the lengths are.

I ended up have to get longer then stock shocks just to mount mine as it sits. My trucks not exactly stock but I haven't lifted the rear.

I just did my front wheel seals. I'll try and find the part number. It's got like a cup on one side that the axle shaft slides up to seat in the housing. You will have to remove the front carrier to replace the seals.

Get the part number off the shock RS******** and use it to order shocks.

Yeah, get me the PN if you could. Yeah, I’ve done them on a Dana 30. Should be similar or there than the hub assembly.
