Sitting low in the rear...

[jaybird106]

Just recently took my 6" lift off and put brand new stock leaf springs in the rear and a 2.5" BDS leveling kit on the front with 35" tires. Well now my truck sits lower in the rear. About an 1 1/4" difference. The reason for lowering my truck was to accommodate a 35', 13K# fifth wheel camper. I haven't hooked it up to the truck yet so I'm not sure how bad its going to sag. So should I put blocks in the rear or air bags, or blocks and air bags? My truck is a 2004 F-250 SWB extended cab.

The 250 has a 2" block in the rear, while the 350 has a 4". The leveling kit will level a 350, but make a 250 low in the rear like yours. You can change the blocks and be level. You can find the blocks on the for sale section on this site from time to time.

Next prob you may have is when you hook up the 5er. It may make it sag enough to be tail low again. Then you would need air bags.

Thanks that helps me out....the blocks that you are referring to are the ones that have the bump stops that come off the side?

Yes, those are the blocks he is referring to.
