I'm a little confused here, maybe I just read your post wrong...It seems like you want to lift the front but drop the back? Are you going for the california pre-runner look type of thing or are you looking for a way to drop the rear temporarily to hook up to trailers i.e. a full air system on the rear? I have a 2.5" level kit up front with 5" blocks in the rear, and if I took out the blocks and put the factory 2" or so blocks back in I would be dragging ***, so I can't imagine being 4" up front and having no block in the rear as it seems you're suggesting, you'd be looking at the clouds as you drive...if you really want to lower the rear statically by 2" you should just leave the front end stock height or even out in 5.4 coils, effectively lowering you're whole truck. Unless I've completely misunderstood you're idea then hopefully this helps a bit.

You might want to re-word your post.

Lift the front 4" and lower the back 2"

Doesn't make much since to me. You can easily tow with a 4" lift if you have a good kit and the correct drop hitch.

srry i can see how its a littl confusing lol i have never really done any suspension work especially lifts just alot of motor. I want it to "squat" is what alot of people call it in the back i want it to sit at an angle pemanetly lol i guess 2 in is a lttle much like on older style gassers crankin up the tortion keys to make the front end sit a little higher. Maybe like drop shackles or something? idk help lol

It's all good, I'm pretty sure I get what you're saying...As i mentioned before, it seems you're after the "pre-runner" look where the rear end is lower than the front. If you google it or even browse around the forums here you'll see some examples of it. There's two separate threads running right now in the 6.4 categories, one labeled let's see your lifted 6.4's ( or something to that effect ). The other one is a thread about seeing the trucks working. In both of these threads you'll see great pictures of trucks lifted and working to give you a better idea of the look you're after.
As for your query though you can certainly lift the front end with any number of kits out there to get the 4" you're looking for, and just leave the rear alone. The stock block on an F250 is approximately 2" thick, and the truck sits slightly lower in the front from the factory. So by adding 4" to the front and leaving the rear alone, you will effectively give yourself around 2-3" rake to the rear as opposed to the front, i.e. pre-runner look. Now if it is the look you're after then this is the way to go. However if you think you have to keep the rear low to tow then as mazsecond said you can just get a drop hitch and a decent lift kit to maximize towing while still getting the full lift you want. Sorry for the rant but I hope this makes sense to you. Do a few searches in the different forums and you'll come up with a million different threads about lifts and so on to help you decide what company fits your needs best.

I have a 4.5" RC lift in the front and 3" lift PMF blocks in the rear. I have a gooseneck hooked up to my truck often. As long as you can adjust your neck, you can get the trailers close to level.
