The way she sits

[Jvcski]

Hey all,
Small question my 2004 F-250 SD sits funny. the rear end sits lower than the front end, and there is no load in the rear of the truck. anyone have any ideas let me know please.

Depends on what you ordered or what you bought has far a susp package is it a fx4 my 250s tend to be higher in the front as well the 350s other way around they set high in the back low in the front , my 01 has a extra overload leaf and set the lowest the 02 is pretty equal no plow on no big deal i suppose other than its just a thing to think aboutdoes it sqwat down with wieght in the box if my memorey serves me right for has a bull for a rear shim to adjust rear height call ford and ask it warr

I think there is an aftermarket kit availiable to correct either way, back or front. My F350 sits high in the rear. It seems to make the F350 look a lot bigger than the F250, yet the only real differance is payload capacity.

The issue is with the rear leveling blocks. You probably have the 2" units, 4" blocks are available from ford( they are stock on the F 350 Pick ups) and will bolt ight in and level the truck. My friiend Ray installed 4" rear blocks on his F 250 after the X springs were installed. Truck sits nice and level now.

Funny you should bring this up. Our new 550 seems to sit about level as well. Maybe it's just me, but I thought trucks that are supposed to be able to carry a lot of weight usually sit a little higher in the back? A friend has the same concern on his 450 as well. Maybe the springs are just really stiff and don't settle at all. Not!

I'm sure it's not another thing that Ford screwed up on. lol

with the snow plow prep package you get the 6000lbs springs in the front. makes the front sit higher. with the f-350 you get 900lbs more payload,different springs along with helper springs...makes it sit about 2 1/2" higher. my f-250 sits just the same way high in front. when i raise my 810 it sits level. put any weight in back and looks like it's going up hill. i am having a leaf added for more payload cap. and 2 1/2-3" of additional hieght.
