1/2" lift

Looking for a way to gain a 1/2" in the rear of my 05 F250. The frnt has a 2.5" leveling kit and is a 1/2" high. I'm dealin with a 7' garage door and only have about a 1.5 in of clearance. The leveling kit was installed two weeks ago and I was told it might settle some. Any recomendations?

Helium in the gas tank?

The rears are lenient, you can put a shim in the leaf pack or use a 1/2 taller block.

I believe off road unlimited makes a 1" Zero rate add a leaf for under 50 dollars. You might have to google it. But I believe it would work.

For what its worth, that is pretty close to the stock height of the F350 block. The F350 block is 3.75 inches tall--everyone just rounds up to 4 inches. I can say without a doubt, the 2 1/4 inch front lift and the F350 blocks will level your truck.

You could machine 1/2" off the front spacers, since you have garage clearance issues anyway. Instead of going up in the rear, go down in the front.

Remedy= the 2.5 I installed was a Tuff Country brand hockey puck style coil spacers, so after researching 1/2 shims for the rear from Skyjacker & the thoughts of don't go higher due to 7' garage door I found this dealer on ebay with the same style 2" puck to replace my 2.5" Tuff Country puck. Prob solved
