Rear End Lift

I thought I was being real smart by ordering my new truck with the snow plow package to level the truck. It works well but when I put any kind of load in the back it rides nose high. Is there some way to lift the back end only an inch or two? This should compensate for most of what I haul.

Lifting blocks and longer U-bolts.

Keep the plow on the front.

PS250 is right...

I have a F250 4x4 02 sc

What gvw springs do you have in the back ?
I have 8800lb gvw springs back there with 2"blocks,I also have the snowpkg) springs in the front
This thing doesn't sag at all when loaded

Just had 4 vermont casting stoves in the back they weigh 350/piece

It does ride stiff though

Ditto, absolutely no problems with sagging here even before my lift.

If what I have read around here before is true,you could install a set of F-350 rear blocks and gain 2in.in the rear height.Don't know if your current u-bolts are long enough or need replaced .
