It is normal for an F-350 to look lower in the front due to the 4 inch blocks in the rear, compared to the F-250s 2 inch blocks. To level it out you would need a 2 inch lift. Several vendors sell them.

I've seen several trucks that have been "leveled" using using the "X" springs that were original equipment on trucks with the snow plow prep package. They provide about 1-3/4" to 2" of lift on the front end aren't as susceptible to sagging over time and as a bonus are designed to accomodate the added weight of a plow or winch/winch bumper. Some guys even claim their trucks ride better after going to the "X" springs from the factory "V" springs. Just remember that you will need to purchase new "U" bolts if you go this route and all of the stuff can be purchased at your local dealership. Hope this helps.

SuperSprings Self-Adjusting Suspension Stabilizers offers an aftermarket coil spring. I talked on the phone with the rep about my sagging 2000 2wd F250. His recommendation:

The SSC-30 will gives an additional 800 lbs of capacity per coil with a lift of 1 ½” over your original stock height.

Please give me a call at our office (number below) with any other questions you might have.

My thanks.

Did you buy them yet? I'd be interested to hear how they are.
