The issue with the 04 and older is leaf springs and stock wheels. Go to wide of a tire and you will hit the springs at full lock. I'd say level the front, f350 rear block (slightly bigger than that 250 rear block) which will keep the rake and maybe a 34/11.5" tire.

I'm leaning towards the Fabtech 3.5 shackle lift. Although it doesn't say how the rear gets lifted? Anyone know? I'm hoping to get some time today to call them and see. I'm not actually looking for a leveled look. I'd like to keep the factory stance/Rake while added some slight lift for a larger tire.

Thanks again

Nemi

That says it's just a front lift system, you'd be on your own for the rear.

How much lower is the front than rear?

the f350 block is around 3 3/4" high while your stock f250 block is 2" so you can get 1.75+ inches out of the rear cheaply and easily. I'm assuming that 3.5" is going to put you more around level with a f350 block though.

Will a block that size require removal of the factory overloads?

No, the block is below the leaf springs. The over load is above the leaf springs.

Thanks 06yz250,

I'll keep looking around, but i'll most likely go that route.

Do you think a 5" block would be too much or just about right in keeping close to the factory rake?
