The problem you are having is that the previous owner installed a leveling kit that was mismatched to your truck. The front was overcompensted for and now you have a drag azz truck. Your best solution is to install a set of 4" superlift blocks in the rear (standard F350 blocks are 3 5/8").

Thanks guys. Sorry for the mistake Ill get it changed to F 250. Mine looks higher that the pic you posted Brandon. Maybe I have a full lift. How can I tell. I have looked but cant tell. I am riding on 20's. Would they fit on a stock truck with just a leveling kit.

When you put it in 140 and punch it, probably.
Another 1/2" and your would look wrong to me Brandon, but as it sits now, no I don't think yours looks nose high (unless you're parked on a downhill slope
) You're running airbags right? What do you have them aired up to for it to sit like that? Any extra lift in the back, or is the back still stock?
If you lifted the back too, then it would be nose high. If not, I'll shut up and go sit in the corner.

How wide is the stock 99 rim? I like my stock rims a lot but I have another set on there now because I was told my 285s wouldnt fit on the 7" rim...do you know a secret that I dont or are the 99s indeed different?

You can run 285's on the stock rims....... but !! Have a look in my Gallery at the pictures of my stock rims after running 285's for a long time and then 315's for a couple of months on them. Peeled the inside right off of them !

I had 285's on those rim for 4 yrs..... and I'm not sure they did that because of the 285's... I just know the wider tires when mounted on narrow rims do push out quite a bit on the bead ! It could be just weak ford rims or.....??? I'm sure they weakened them and then I finished them off by putting the 315's on... I'm running 315's on 8" wide rims now
