The F350's have bigger blocks in the back. The 350's have 4" blocks and the 250's have 2" blocks in the back. I think the front is the same on both.

They vary somewhat with the different suspension packages, as well. Snow plow prep and other hd front springs make 'em a little taller. I think the gas engine trucks, especially the V8's, are enough lighter to sit a little taller than the diesels as well. Probably some difference in '99 -'04's and '05 - ups because the front suspension is entirely different, too.

My friend and I bought 2005 trucks within a month or so of each other, his a diesel F350 and mine a gas F250. His sat an inch higher in the rear and an inch lower in the front. The trucks were both Lariats with the same options, except he had the moon roof. He had installed a fifth wheel hitch in the rear, but I was surprised it sat only one inch higher in the rear (I didn't think the hitch would weigh enough to squat it an inch).

4X4 vs. 2X4 can affect it too.

I carry 2x4s all the time in my truck. And if I carry enough of them, my truck is not quite as high in the rear. So 2x4 does make a difference.
