Shocks Question

Hi all! I have an '03 F250 that has the 4" blocks in the rear. Am getting new Bilstein shocks, do I need F350 shocks for the rear or will I be ok with C296's. I remember when I put the 4" blocks in that rear shock was close to full extension.Thanks for any replies.

You converted your suspension to a 350 so you need 350 shocks, if they're even different.

The Bilstein site does have a different part # for a 350, with a slightly higher price. Since there are so many 250's on here with the 4" block mod, I was just wondering what the general consensus was. Also, is installation fairly easy for the weekend warrior?
