My factory f250 blocks on my 14 are 3 3/4" there is a 2 1/4" height difference measuring at the center of the wheel opening. Is this how all of them are? I would be fine with a 1 1/2" spacer in the front if that's the case.

Typically, F250 blocks are 1 7/8" and F350 blocks are 3 5/8". I've never heard of factory F250 blocks being that big. My dad has a '14 F250 and his are not that big.

Problem is the wheel well openings. The front wheel well when measured to the body line (that runs from front to back) is 1" bigger then the rear. I go 1" higher in rear then whatever I put up front to make it "look" leveled. Wheel well to wheel well it will be BUT front body's be to rear body it's an inch higher in back. It looks leveled to the eye then due to difference in the openings. With that being said 1.5" spacer up front is perfect with stock block in rear.

Jayz - So if I have a 2.5" top spacer on my '13, should I only need a 1" taller block in the rear to make it look level?

Yes sir, I done 2.5" block with stock f350 block in rear 3 5/8" and it was a bit to tall in rear. I've done 1.5" up front with stock f250 rear block and it was perfect. I've done 3" up front and f350 block in rear and it was damn near perfect. I say 2.5" up front and 3" rear block. Custom 3.25 or 3.5 block would be better.

Maybe its the way my truck is optioned 5th wheel prep, snowplow prep, 12,5 Hitch, 20" wheel package? I did measure the rear blocks to confirm. So it sounds like a 1.5" spacer would be the perfect set up for me. This should fit 35" tires in the future correct?

this is a ready lift 1.5 and PMF 2.5" block in rear. With the 1.5 front and stock (1 7/8) block in the rear, measuring the space between tire and fender i was level/equal on the driverside but about 1/2" high on the passenger side front. so i went with a 2.5" block in rear now im slightly higher in the rear which is what i wanted. so even a 1" spacer with the stock block might be best.

I do have the FX4 package as well so that must explain the taller rear blocks. I measure a difference from front to rear of 2 3/8"

I think the fx4 package comes with 350 blocks and ranchos


Just the ranchos

Post up a pic of your truck, 250s should all have the same rear block, no matter the packages selected. They're all spring upgrades and/or sway bar. You sure it wasn't lifted from the dealer? Or if you bought it used, the po lifted it and then removed the front spacer?
