This can't be right. I had an 01 F350 that had a leaf pack about 6" tall with overloads and everything. Now I have a 99 F250 here with three or four leaves, no overloads and that block.

Depends on how the pickup was ordered as to the spring rates/options but on SRW 4x4 pickups after 99.5, the 350 will have a roughly 4" tall block and a 250 will have a 2" one.
E99 F250s were 4" but had much flatter spring options. DRW F350s with 3.73 gears had 2" blocks too.

Not that I'm aware of. This is a real-world observation from 20 years of mekkanikking on them and being constantly surrounded by them. Is it the end-all, be-all? No. I'm sure odd ones exist in nature and there are going to be exceptions but I'm still waiting to see a stock suspension that doesn't follow these rough guidelines.
If the same spring package was ordered on a F250 or F350 with the same cab/box configuration, the only differences will be badges, GVWR, and the rear ride height due to the taller blocks. In Montana (and probably many other states), the insurance for the F250 will be more expensive.
