lift kit
I’m sure this has been asked before so sorry. I’d like to put a 2” lift on my ’08 4x4 250. All the kits I see that are 2” say they are just a leveling kit and only raise the front 2”. My problem is I pull a pretty heavy gooseneck trailer as well as a boat every weekend in the summer. I don’t want to level it because I don’t want it to look like it is sagging in the rear while I’m towing. I have heard that you can buy the leveling kit and get blocks from a 350 for the rear? Is that correct?
Also who has the best kits that will hold up good for towing? I know the blocks off a 350 will hold up fine, but the front, even though there isn’t all that much weight on the front. I don’t want to go higher that a 2” cause then it makes towing my gooseneck a pain.
thanks

Readylift makes mild lift & leveling kits. I just leveled my F-350. Looks & rides great. I know your F-250 is a little different and I remember reading something about the leveling kit needing the F-350 rear blocks, but they also have other options.

Do you have a link to what you did on the front? Me and a buddy both have a 08 CC SRW LB and want to raise the front to level it off. I don't like the doorstop look...

well I think the leveling kit looks the best, but I tow a lot and I don't want it to slump down in th rear. I don't want to look overloaded.

Thanks. I don't think it'll look overloaded when hooke dup to a trailer...
My buddy tows a 32' enclosed car hauler or a 32' travel trailer with his. Both use weight distribution hitches and both won't even level out the truck when fully loaded. I guess that's the beauty of the weight distribution hitch. I can see where it may look overloaded with a 5th or a goose though.
