Ok this may not be the right place for this but I wanna level my truck bad because my bumper makes it sag a lot I was wonderin if a 2.5 lift in the front and f350 rear blocks might level it some

you can tell it leans a lot and I can't stand it any longer.theres around 6-800 pounds of bumper hangin off there.its like 300 for the bumper it's self and 300 or so for the mount we built for it

And don't mind the flag.im just lookin for help and that was the best pic I had.and the other one is how it was before the bumper but I never took a good side pic when I got my rims an tires but you can see acouple inches in diffrence

lol
with the TTB front end i wouldnt lift jack shat!
straight axle it.

Well my only problem with that is I have to redo my whole straight axle yes I have one I got for bush hoggin lol.thats how I got the bumper to.but it needs literly ever thing but I guess in the end it'll probley be about the same for the lift as to redo it.but do you think stock 350 springs will raise it up a whole lot

not alot, but most likely the exact measurement you want.

^ This. TTB is bad enough as is but with a lift they become problematic. Every TTB I've lifted has cracked the drop brackets eventually, to say nothing of the short ball joint life. That's also only with big blocks, not the couple hundred extra pounds of the IDI and another 600 for a bumper on top of it. D60 and done, don't waste your time on that TTB.

That was my plan but I was just curiose As to what I could do with the ttb.

You can't just lift the ttb with springs. You have to drop the pivot point in the middle too or you can't get the camber right. The F350 springs are about 2" higher than the F250 springs as evidenced by the rear block height difference. It may vary a little but if you are that nose heavy, it may be worth having springs made or put the 60 under it and see before you change the rear blocks. It might not take the full 350 block to level it.

you can scrap it

you can scrap it

I'd buy it from you. Hate to see good parts going to scrap.
To me it looks fine like it is. But I've never liked lifts

Lower the rear???!!!???

 

[OLDBULL8]

You need a heavier Flag and place it way back.

I've gotta nother truck to use it for if needed lol I don't scrap anything that can be use agian.and it's not bad in pics but in person you can really see it leanin in the front.i can notice atleast an inch of diffrence in it espically next to a f350 that's stock height that I used to be close to the same as now the fronts way down

Judging by you picture your tires are not leaning in at the top. This tells me that it is not sagging as much as you think. I used an add a leaf which added 1 leaf to the front on a 87 250 that I had a snowplow on. It worked great and it didn't get to high so it could still be aligned with no drop brackets. Superlift made them I think.

Build an 800lb rear bumper?
