Saggy rear

What size "blocks" should be on a 2001 F250 SD 4x4?
My trucks rear sits lower than the front- I looked at the blocks last night and they look to be 2". Is that stock?
If not- Can I swap out myself???
What is involved.?? Will Ford do it?

if im not mistaken you have torsion bars, for 60 dollars you can get those cranked to level out the truck.

That truck may have sway bars, but I doubt it has torsion bars, since it is 4x4 it has leaf springs at all four corners. As for sitting lower in the rear I would have Ford check that on that new of a truck something is not right. All 4x4 SD that I have seen sit 2-3" higher in back than the front when empty.

haha my bad i thought you said your front sits lower than the back, naw you have no torsion bars, you can go with blocks in the back and that will raise it up :-X11
