Leveling my 350
Hello all. I am a service tech for an elevator company and was recently assigned a route with several low clearance parking garages. Does anyone know of a way to lower the rear 2 inches for leveling rather than raising the front end 2 inches? I have a set of heavy duty Airlift airbags if I need to raise the rear back up for heavy loads or tow leveling so that should not be an issue. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks , Dan Donlin

This is new normally you raise the front 2 inches. But I can see why you want to lower the rear. You could try a rear block from an F250. That would lower it an inch. Or you could get a 2 inch lowering kit. Good luck

Go to your dealer and buy a set of rear 2" lift blocks and u-bolts, that is what comes stock on an F-250. We have a F-250 that sits level in stock form, and it does sit 2-3" lower all around than my leveled up f-350.

If ya lived closer I would trade you my blocks from my F250, for those from yours. But yeah it will lower the rear by I believe it's about 1-1/2". If thats not enough I would look to building a slightly longer shackle this will help lower it another inch if you want and could me made stronger than factory pretty easily if your good at fabrication.
