This summer I will be finally lifting my 00' F250 4X. I have the reg cab with the 8' bed and 5.4. It has the heavy svc susp and tow pckg. It's mostly a daily driver and weekend trail vehicle. A procomp 6.5" all sping kit gets the nod for all out quality.

My truck sits level on pavement, even after 30k miles in less than a year. I haven't expereinced any sag like other SD owners have. The problem is all lift kits sold are offset from the front to rear by 1" or as much as 2.5" in the front. I have been told the F350 has a 4" spring spacer/block and the F250 has a 2.5" block. Procomp has instructed me to obtain a set of rear lift blocks from ford (to avoid block stacking) out of a F350 with heavy service susp or snow plow pckg.

I have tried to obtain a part number from several Ford dealers in NJ for the rear lift block and no one can help.

My questions are:

1. Does a lift block like I describe exist (4") for the rear of an F350?
2. Will this block fit in the F250?
3. What is the item description and/or part number for this block?

This truck handles real well offroad, it can use help in the articulation and ground clearance area though hence a lift kit is in order. I love mine!

Thank for your help! This site is Topnotch.

2000 F250 4x4 Reg Cab, 5.4. 4.10 Lmtd Slip. Hvy Svc Susp. (soon to have 6.5" Procomp all spring with 36" TSL swampers)

 

Order the rear springs for an 8" lift kit and remove the blocks completely in the rear.
You will solve the axle articulation issue and end up dead even with your 6.5" lift kit in the front.
I hope this helps to ease your mind!
I really hate blocks all together.
I have the FabTech 5.5" kit and it is the best ride, best engineered kit on the market!!
A couple of articles back there is a guy in Mesa California who lifted his truck "I Just...." and after reading his and doing my homework I found his advice to be correct.
The question you just asked is very common for the 6.5" lift and this seems to be the best resolution.

I'm going to lift my 2001 F-250. Looking for a smooth ride I hear some talk of a Rancho 4" lift with Bilstein shocks and others swear by a Fabtech lift and Bilsteins. Anyone have some advise?
