About 2 inches.the front is .5 an inch lower than the back.i put the factory recommended f250 shocks all the way around.it doors ride stiffer than before but it looks and handles allot better.next will be new rims and 33s our 32s.i haven't decided on that yet.

Awesome that's exactly what I have been looking for. It looks like you can get the springs for $68 on summit. Were there any modifications made or did everything bolt right up?

Just bolted up. You will need an alignment afterwards

Do you happen to know if the shocks that are on it for stock height would they stretch out enough for the f250 springs? Reason I'm asking is the shocks were replaced a few years ago so essentially they are new.

Well mine are fairly new so I was just trying to see if I could get away without having to put new shocks.
