2005 F250 leveling kit
all - I own a 2005 F250 CC FX4 LWB...
Want to add a leveling kit, F350 blocks, new 17 or 18" wheels and 285s or 315s.
1 - What type of leveling kit do you recommend? Shocks?
2 - Installing F350 blocks - is it safe? What part #s do I need to order?
3 - What type of tires do you recommend? (All terrains)
4 - Any pics of this setup on your rigs...please share!
Thanks guys!

Most of the leveling kits are similar for the 05's - some are made of billet alum...others of steel, beware of any that are not made of those two materials...shocks are the big difference - if I had the cash, I would've went with the DR setup, but it's pricey compared to some others...
Since you have a 250, you will have to put on the 350 blocks, unless of course you like the nose up look...Here's a pic of my 350 with leveling kit and 35's on 20 inch wheels....

DR setup
what do you mean when you refer to "if i had the money i would've went wtih the DR setup? What is the DR setup?
i'm also looking to do a 2.5" leveling kit and was looking into the one by skyjacker with the replacement coil springs and add-a-leaf for the rear. looks like about $330.00 with shipping.
I'm assuming that I'd need to do an alignment after installation as well.

I went with the 2.5 up front and 350 blocks in the rear. Take a look in my gallery to see what it will look like. I am running Mickey Thompson 325/60/18 which measure about 33.5 inches. Although when I first got the truck it had 35" BFGS on her which you can see in my first pics.

- Bilstein 2.25" or Donohoe 2.5". Bilstein shocks!
- Yes, I installed F-250 blocks so it's level. Don't know.
- Toyo or BFG.
- Alrighty!
Each Super Duty can be slightly different so you won't know how your truck will look and it's 'stance' until the leveling kit is installed. The rear on mine was too high for my taste so we installed the F-250 blocks. I'm keeping the originals though. A few more pics are in my Gallery.
