Rear Block Question
My early 99 F250 came with 4" rear blocks. Don't later models have shorter blocks. If so how tall are they?
I know this is a crazy idea to most of you but I would like to level my truck by lowering the rear instead of raising the front. Shorter blocks and new U-bolts may just do it. If I put in a 2 1/2" front leveling kit the truck will not fit through the garage door. I only have about 1 1/4" clearance as is. I know if I raised the front I could just let air out of the front tires and squeeze in but that would be a PITA everytime I wanted to put the truck inside.

Yep, stock late model F250 blocks are 2". I'll bet someone with a later F250 would be happy to swap blocks with you, then all you'd need is new u-bolts.

Robin, I'll check and see if I still have mine. If I do they are yours. Give me a couple of hours.

Is this a difference with the Early 99 that's not on the list? And no I didn't check the list.
Reps to you Jason, even if you don't still have them.
You just gotta love the FTE 7.3 spirit.

Yes, as far as I know all the early 99 250's got the taller 350 rear blocks from the factory.

That is great Jason.
Sorry to respond so late but was doing rear brake job today.
I will send the PM right now.
Thanks Jason.
Jason deserves some REPS. Get him for me. I can't.
