I used a 2" add a leaf in the back. Either Rough Country or Tuff Country...can't remember which. Levels it up and it doesn't sag when you load her up. Plus at around $50 it's less expensive than the factory blocks.

One of these days i will get my air bags installed in the rear to help with sag while towing. But the f350 blocks in the rear would make it sit nice i think.

Was it the mini spring pack 2.5" leveling kit? If so, I had the same problem when I first installed it... came out way higher than I expected. Had to do f-350 blocks + extra leafs from my old rear spring pack to get it level.

Looks great Nolan, what a difference it makes. I'm doing the same thing, 350 blocks that Keith Spdmpo is graciously hooking me up. We'll see how the blocks work and if I need more for towing, the link Scott posted might be be plan B.
