front end?????

I installed a Rough Country 2 1/2" levling kit with all new shocks over a week ago. I have driven at least 300 - 500 miles since then and i like the height but now the front is 2" higher than the back (its exactly 2" higher).

I made an appointment with my local spring shop to have a couple leafs added to the rear so it matches the front but should I hook my plow up for a day and drive around to see if it settles more? Is there any other way to see if it is going to sag more?

I dont want to match it and then have the front sag in a few months... I will be in the same situation i was before i installed the levling kit...

Thank you for your help,

Rob

Did you put F350 blocks in the rear? Wouldn't that level it out?

do 350 blocks. It will be cheaper and it will level it out perfect.

Yeah, the whole point of leveling kits is that F350's are higher in the rear because of the taller blockers. So to do the whole thing you use a leveling kit in the front of an F250, and change the rear blocks out to F350 size, for a cheap little lift. The kits are used all kinds of different ways too, but that was really the point.

You might need to shim your driveline carrier bearing. Try a search for details.
