Rear blocks & Leveling kit
Does anyone know were I can purchase the 4" blocks that come stock in the F350's and for how much. I also want advise on front leveling kits. I was looking at the Trailmaster because it retains the stock springs but I'll go with anything. These parts will be going on a 2002 F250 Crewcab shortbed powerstroke. Thank you,

You should be able to order the blcoks from the dealership and pretty much any 4x store. I'd suggest the 4x stores because they will probably be cheaper than the dealership. The blocks should run between $50-$80 (I believe a set of 3.5" blocks at a shop in Vegas was about $65). I have a 3.5" Fabtech Hanger/Leveling kit on mine and it too retains the factory springs and ride. I should have a few pics in my gallery of the kit (they are the big blue pieces in a few of the pics under misc. pics).

Hedgehog,
You've got the right idea, but stay away from the bolt together hanger kits like the one from Trailmaster. They are junk. Go with a real hanger kit like those by Edge or Fabtech. The Edge kit includes Bilstein 5100 shocks and will actually improve ride quality over stock.
