If the rear is sitting lower, the rear springs could be wore out, someone removed the factory blocks or someone has already leveled the front. Easy way to tell is to get someone with the same truck and compare the suspensions of both trucks and see if you can find the differences between them.

Also I see it is a daily driver, farm truck, if there is a fuel tank for equipment in the bed, it could make the rear sit lower.

Is yours an early or late model? The earlys came stock with the taller lift blocks in the rear that only the F350 got on the late models, but some have been swapped to the shorter blocks (short blocks are around 2", tall versions are around 4").
If you want to lift the whole truck, I'd go for a 4" lift. Won't be cheap though!

Then you should have the taller blocks in the rear unless a previous owner swapped them.

i really cant tell a differance in it, i am kind of disapointed, no louder in the cab, or outside. it seems like the blow coming out of the exhaust is a lil more though, and thats all that matters.
