Stock truck height

Hello, another member from the .org came over today to buy some wheels, and mentioned my truck looked higher than other f350s....This is probably the 5th or 6th person to say this...I had a thread previously asking about a 1" block present from the factory between my front leaves and the axle...It also has 3 leaves in the front on top of that. The truck has not been lifted at all, has the stock springs, and stock blocks in front and the rear....My measurement from the ground (flat) to the bottom of my rear wheel well was a perfect 46.5" on each side, and it was exactly 43.75" in the front on both sides....That is with tires that measure 32.5" from the ground to the top of the tire.

Anyone else think this sounds high?

Iv gotten the same comments lol. I have 3 springs in the front pack, and the stock block in the back See that bumper deal, that shows you its the stock block in the back.

Heres the front


Someone on here told me that the stock spring pack up front has 2, and you can do an "add-a-leaf" leveling kit which will add another leaf to the pack lol. so there ya have it.

Blizzard if you can get a pic of you front spring pack with the block. You should not have a block in the front axle.

Hmm....Ill get a pic of it up tomorrow, mine definitely has a 3/4 or 1" block, but its a stock part....I asked the guy at the ford dealer, and it has the ford emblem, and several numbers on it and stuff....He just didn't know what it was.

Are most peoples trucks 46.5" from the ground to the wheel well in the back? Thats with a 33" tire. So with stock tires it would be about 46".

Do you have the options list sheet from your truck. Since its a stock ford block in front Im willing to bet you have the snowplow prep package
