On my 02 Ford F350 4X4 there are spacer blocks between the rear spring pack and the top of the axle. These blocks are 4" high. The same truck as a F250 (also diesel and 4X4) has 2" high spacer blocks. So I went to a parts yard and bought the spacer blocks off a F250. Now the truck sits more level, and not having its @$$ sitting high in the air. I am still high with the truck bed for my 2010 5th wheel trailer. Truck manufacturers think they can sell more of the "macho" toys to the city boys by making them taller. I imagine that it gives all trailer builders constant headaches. I have talked to Ford dealers and they say that 4WD requires the additional height. That is total BS. They were much lower in the 60's and 70's. Ford was the tall one in those years.

As a farmer, I need a 4X4 truck, but I do NOT want the extra height. I have to lift everything that goes into the truck bed, and I don't get any younger.
