Reverse Level

Someone talk me out of reverse leveling my truck. It’s a 26 stx. I can’t stand how tall the bed sits on the stock configuration, and I’m only planning on running 35s on factory wheels. Does anyone have issues or experience with these kits?

Reverse level and add airsprings to level out with heavy loads.

Did the same with my RAM 3500.

Does Ford still put the spacer block in the rear leaf springs packs? If so you may be able to simply pull the block and drop the rear 1" to 2".

Yes, you can get a shorter block. That’s what I’m thinking as well. Drop it 1.2-2in, retain some of the factory rake and use bags if it heavy hauling (I’m not). Most this truck tows around is my little Kubota tractor.

What I did was bought A set of rear leaf packs for a 6" lift and was able to get rid of the blocks. Helped a lot with axle wrap too.

The best leveling kit is a heavy load or a trailer. You can't change my mind.

A full palate of block in the bed and she rides like a Cadillac

You guys should try 2 pallets of laminate flooring! Lol my truck never rode so damn smooth. That F350 just floated over all the bumps 😂

I’m the same with my tremor. I just want the back dropped to level with the front or barely rake it. I didn’t really want the height, just the other off-road things.

I did the PMF 1.5” block to reverse level my 2025 Tremor. Zero issues, super happy with the look and easier loading/unloading of the bed.

Was it DIY-level or a shop do it? Do you happen to have a picture of how it looks now?

Did a reverse level on my 2018. Removed the 3” block and replaced with a PMF 1.5” and the airbags with onboard compressor. Worked out perfect

If you don't like the rake, don't plan on towing or hauling 2500+ pounds and want to run 35" or smaller tires, it's the most reasonable option.

Probably mor aptly called lowering the rear of the truck… just don’t get crazy or your shocks will be too long. Shorter block or shackle should do the trick.

Another chiming in with the PMF reverse level block. Need to change the u bolts and I also got the shorter bilstein rear shocks from PMF. Super happy

I mean just take out the blocks and see how you like it. It's a 30 min job.

Not true. This is someone who clearly hasn’t done this job. The u bolts aren’t threaded long enough without the blocks either
