Reverse leveling kit?

[MR. ED]

Anybody ever change out the rear blocks on a truck to bring the ass end down?
I needed new shocks this spring and found a sweet deal for new shocks with some coils that were a bit longer than stock...aka leveling kit. My intentions were to get some 35s before winter. Now I’m a bit concerned because I have a hard enough time reaching over the bed to grab stuff and with 35s it’ll be even harder. My new plan is to find some smaller blocks for the rear and put the old coils back up front. 35s should’ve cleared in stock configuration. ‘14 F350 if it matters. Any advice or comments are welcome. Thanks.

Plenty of people do it on Superduties.
Just swap to F-250 blocks and you should loose about 2" in the rear.

Dont forget about new U-bolts.

Also keep in mind that while 35's fit stock, the fronts are close enough that running snow chains is not advised.
I leveled mine to get clearance for chains on 35's What coils do you have that you might be looking to get rid of?
I might be interested.

Dont forget to make sure your rear shocks wont bottom out / destroy themselves with the lowered height when you reduce the block size.

Thanks guys. Coils are Bilstein and I wonder if they’re built for diesels because I seem to have more than the advertised 2 inches.
