Rear Lift Blocks ?
I am trying to raise the rear of my truck 1 - 2". Wondering if there is a place/website to buy some lift blocks that will accomplish that. all i find are 4 inch blocks for the superduty. my truck is a 06 f-250. I am trying to raise the rear to be able to get a set of 5100 series bilsteins on there. thanks!

No
, I meant between any vehicles, not comparing the SD vs LD. I was implying that a 2'' block kit for any vehicle with leaf springs the same width will work just the same on his truck.

You can't cut the Ford blocks in half because they are hollow, not a solid piece of metal.
I don't think his use of the word superduty was significant or differentiating from what he has, probably just inclusive of both the 350 and 250, then stating what most people don't, what he owns....

If you are trying to bump up your back some, the suggestion of the f350 blocks will help. You don't want to stack on top of what you have. Looks like yours is 4x4, so it will have 2 inch blocks, the f350 blocks vary slightly but are approximately 4 inches.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess the minimum block height for ford is 4" which would replace the stock 2" block which would result in a 2" lift if i am understanding this right. what i really want is a 3" block which would make it a 1" lift. i only find 3" blocks for chevy and toyota. is it possible to add a 1" spacer to the stock 2" block? the reason i want 1" lift in the rear is because i bought the bilstein bts kit for the front which raises the front 2". the shocks i got for the rear allow up to 1" of lift and i am trying to keep the rake close to stock because i tow a race car trailer alot and i think it will look goofy when the trailer is hooked up, the rear of the truck will be sagging too much. sorry if this is confusing!!
Thanks again!
