lowered truck height

Fox hunt said:

Yes but level the rear. Pretty sure both 250 and 350 blocks raise the back end higher and was wondering if anyone had done this to know off the top of their head

The stock f250 block will be pretty close to level. It's 1 7/8" tall. The smallest I would go with stock front height is an 1 1/2" rear block.

So what would be the best option on a CCSB , Looks & Ride wise? Also best way of Hunting down the front springs & what size U bolts will I need. What's the best tire size for a 20x10 - 305/50/20 ? Suggest a brand over others ?

I got my 4400lb springs from my local dealer and ubolts from carquest. If I remember correctly the ubolts need to be 10-11 inches if using no rear block. And I have 305 50 20 nitto 420s on my 20x10. I like them but everyone has them so someone else might suggest something a little less common.

Truck looks good, I may try a nitto grappler or falken wildpeak.

Thanks! I had the Terra Grapplers 325/60/20 on these wheels before I lowered it and they sucked! Rode like chit and spun like crazy and wet or muddy forget any kinda traction. My last truck had them on it but it had 16 inch wheels and they weren't that bad. I guess it's the smaller sidewall that made the difference. My mom has falken wild peak on her 6.0 and they seem to be a pretty good tire.

Any suggestions on what shocks make a good ride ?

Bilsteins. But there are many others. Pretty much you get what you pay for.

Yeah , figured I'd ask before purchasing the Bilsteins.

How long have you been running those general grabbers? How many miles?

I've probably put 10,000 miles on them since September I think I'll have to check on that. They wear awesome except the passenger rear is a little worn

Well keep me posted on them. Ive read an even amount of positive and negative comments on that brand. What rating are they?

on my 2011 I cut a coil and a half and it is about 1/2" low in the front, no rear block. pretty sure they were 5600lb springs by the tag. I took the bumpstops out and its hit a couple times. its getting aligned and the trac bar adjusted in a couple days. ill see if its still hitting, if so ill cut the rubbers down and put them back in.

I just did this truck suspension for customer. It is a 2006 but has same 08 5.4 front springs and no block rear. Rear is 1/2 - 3/4" higher than rear. Rides very good.

6.7 front bumper?

Looks like it.

Does anyone have a measurement from ground to middle of front fender for the 4800# , and 4400# springs(running a 305/50/20 nitto 420)? I was curious what they are as I will be removing my rear block, and Ieaning towards the 4800# spring and running 420s .Trying to dial my truck in for Rudy's spring event. Times flying by already. Thanks in advance.
