10" lift
I have a 2000 f30 SRW with a 10" fabtech lift.
The truck came with the lift and it has 6" of block in the rear and 1 add a leaf on the bottom of the rear springs.
I am going to get new rear springs to elimiate all the block. How much lift spring do i need to level out the truck with the front.
Also is carrier spring good?

You really need to talk to the manufacturer of the springs you are going to buy to see what height they will add and then you will know what size blocks to add, the shorter the blocks the better. Keep in mind the factory F350 blocks , IIRC, are 3.75" tall.

Yeah, it sounds like the OP has both the 3.75" OEM block and the 6" Fab-Tech block on the rear axle. Depending on whether you like a "rake" to the truck, you may want more than 10" rear leaf springs.

I have the stock springs in the rear, then a add a leaf that is about 3/4 thick. then 1 6" block. that is it.
I want to get rid of the block and at very most only run 2" block. I am also putting on trac bars.
mobey dick 10 in the rear would put the truck to high in the rear, read my post and youll see i only want to level the rear with the front.

So the front axle has been lifted 10 inches and the rear axle has been lifted 6.75 inches... which means that the front is 3.25 inches higher than the rear. You need 10 inch rear springs with no rear blocks.
Can we see a pic of your truck?
