missing rear blocks???

I was contemplating putting in a set of f350 rear blocks to lift the back end of the truck up a little more. So i crawled under to take a measurement of my stock blocks. Am i missing the stock f250 blocks? Here is a link to the pictures:

and

If so, then I can get some 2" blocks from superlift that are for a 4x4, that come with u bolts for about 90 bucks. These should still work right?

Thanks guys.

Chris

It looks like you are to me.

When I had my 99 I put on a leveling kit and the rear sat low. I was going to put in the 350 blocks. Upon further inspection I came to the conclusion that I had no rear blocks.(the rear had been resprung with some honkin springs). I went to the wrecker and got some 250 blocks and had some new ubolts made.

I imagine the superlift blocks and ubolts would work as well.

They will work,but not your best option.

They are for adding 2" to your stock set up.They probably are not "tapered" to adjust for drive line angle as the stock ones would be.

Worth asking them about it first.

From you sig:

2000 XLT Ex-Cab 4x2 6 spd, 2inch Leveling kit,
You've got a 2wd and from my understanding is that 2wd's do not have any lift block in the back. At least the one's I've seen don't. The F250 and F350 dually 4x4's have a 2" factory lift block and the F350 SRW 4x4's have a 4" lift block. Spring packs are the same. U-bolts are also longer/shorter depending on what you've got.

I'd say it looks typical for a 2wd truck.

Good catch Ryan. I want to add though that the early 99 F250 4x4's came stock with the taller (4" or so) rear blocks.
