F250 = 2.0
F350 = 3.7

That's interesting, did not know the DRWs were 2".
Duh! Now I see the FX4 sticker.

One of the reasons I decided to go with the DRW, 2" lower makes for a better 5th wheel leveling procedure.

Those SRW's are just to dang high anymore.

Yup, I agree, that's why I changed from 4" to 2".

I tried to order stock F350 blocks (to raise my F250) and the Ford dealer ordered up a set and they are 2" blocks. Ford dealer (parts guy) swears all blocks are 2"...... Now I have to go find different dealer.

Anyone know the Ford part number for the F350 blocks ??

They are different based on your configuration. Some have a taper and some don't so you need to look them up based on your wheelbase. As far as the dealer you went to, that stuff makes me crazy. Go outside with your phone to their lot, find a 350, take a pic with your phone and show the nitwit behind the counter. Then go to Silver State Ford Parts Online. https://www.silverstatefordparts.com...ord-parts.html
They will be cheaper than a local dealer even after shipping. Or, wait for the trade mentioned above....

You will also need new U bolts and if you have a sway bar, get the longer end links. I did this on my 09. Shouldn't take but an hour or so.....

Select part #3 left and right w/4WD and you will also need two sets of the #2 u-bolts and nuts.

Thank you for the offer !!

I just ordered up a set of ReadyLift 4" blocks & u-bolts. I got them for $125 to my door.

I am sitting at exactly level on my stock F250. With the front Bilstein leveling kit adding 2" to 2.25" on the front, I decided to get a full 2" lift on the rear to be close to level again (since the F350 block would only add 1.75"). I am still trying to keep it as close to level as possible. ... not that anyone would be able to see a .25"-.50" of difference, but I would know.

So my truck is a 2004 and I got a great deal on some 2012 longer springs.i have heard that while the newer truck ride better, but when loaded they sag more,what are you guys doing to get them level once loaded?


My truck is dwr,the springs are out of a srw 2/1 verses 3/1.I have air bags too.i did the front coil spring conversion and it has helped with a softer ride up front but the back leafs on a rough road are horrible.
