I would do as Keith suggested, I think you'll be happy once the bags are on.

Nolan, suit yourself, but that truck looks almost level and I can promise you that after air bags are on and pumped up to 5-10psi it will raise the back of your truck more than you think.

I can't help on part numbers, but not so long ago there was a guy on PSN selling a set of 350 blocks.

those are one option, I think it depends on wheel base and then you have the u-bolts, need to know with or without aux springs..... and maybe 2x4 or 4x4 makes a diff also.

So I have the 2.5" or 3" suspension leveling kit as well. Did you get the leveling kit then do the add a leaf? I want my truck taller but dont want to buy a whole lift kit. They are soooo expensive. Does this add a leaf make it sit nose down again? or is it pretty level? I'm looking into doing this. Please write back when you get this?

I'm almost positiv that I have the leveling kit up front only, most likely just enough to raise it to match the back since they came nose down stock.

1.)How can I measure my leveling kit? I do want to lift my truck up overall, front and back. So i understand that the stock blocks in back are 2".

2.) Should I get 4" f-350 blocks for the back with U bolts and the extra leafs?
3.) If i do that it should raise the back about 2.5" correct?
4.) If I do that, what will i have to do to bring the front up to match? take off the leveling kit I have right now and put a bigger one on?

Please let me know what you think. I want my truck to grow and also want to make sure I have good clearance for my next wheel/tire purchase.
Thanks

The idea of a leveling kit is to bring the nose level with the tail. The kit that I got was all new front springs not an add a leaf..
