Has anyone lowered the rear of their 350 by swapping shorter spring spacers. I want to get my cab lower than 81” to clear a 4 post lift. Would help with our trailers too. Good grief these things are tall.

Jomax on here had lowered the **** outta his 17. It looked really good. I think he did 4400s in the front and no block in the rear to clear parking garages in ca. Cant remember the title of his thread though, sorry.

I took the stock block out of the rear of my 250 and replaced with the PMF 1.5" tall block the first week I got it. It's the shortest block we can run without bottoming out stock shocks.

It is more level now but the rear is still about a half inch taller and it looks nice. I did it so I could fit through my garage door.

Reverse level only requires a smaller block. Give Trevor at PMF a call and he can tell you what your options are and best way to get there.

Lol...they need TLC this winter because I am too busy to keep up with keeping them clean. I really like the stance on the truck and happy I bought the single cab.

Are they 22x10 on Toyo 33x12.50r22?

Set up is 22x11 with 33x12.50r22’s, no rear blocks, and gasser springs up front. I had to lower it to get into underground garages in DC. I no longer work in DC so I may go back up a bit and do 35’s in the spring.

FYI OP, if your truck is a 2017+ F350 it probably came with 5600# front coil springs (unless you have snowplow package then its 6000# springs) and then obviously you have the rear F350 leaf springs. Dropping to 4800# front coils like I did will lower it about 1.5-2" in the front and removing the rear block will lower the rear 3" exactly. You will have to cut the front bump stops on this setup and on stock wheel and tires (I have a platinum so mine is factory 20's on a 34" tall tire) you will "just barely" clear 7'-0" garage openings.

If you need to clear 81" you may need to consider going to 4400# front coils and pulling some leafs out of the rear leaf pack. This will gain you another solid 1-2" drop out of the front and rear

For reference...look at mine lowered (black truck) compared to Drew's stock height silver truck

Did you have to do anything with the driveshaft when removing the rear blocks?

Thanks for the feedback!! Your truck looks great.

I bought the 350 for the rear axle and the extra (legal) capacity. I know what it’ll handle, just want to try to stay under the limits just in case I’m ever in an accident.
