Suspension/Lift question and opinion

[castsnoshadow]

So i got a 1997 F250 CCSB. Its got a 1989 Dana 60 swap up front with stock F350 Springs and sky manufactoring shackle reversal lift kit, 3" and just blocks in the rear.

I am wondering what lift/springs you guys are using on both the front and rear and how you feel about them! I am looking to get a little more lift in the front since it has settled and sags a little. If i remember correctly i think its only 2 or 3 spring pack up front. Also what are you guys running in the rear. Im looking to get rid of the blocks for some springs.

Thanks!

How much are you wanting to lift it? Are you familiar with the Super Duty spring swap?

[castsnoshadow]

I dont want much more lift. Just the front seems to sit a bit lower that the rear and it bugs me. Also i havent heard of the SD spring swap.

To swap in SD V code front springs, you'd need to move the RSK bracket about 3.5" forward......but you'll like it.

[redneckabbott]

Like stated, it requires moving the reverse shackle bracket forward. Most people use V code front springs and B code rear springs. There's a good write up on here somewhere. It gives you enough to run 35s and the ride is suppose to be 200% improved. I still haven't done this mod but it's on the list.

You've got the RSK and D60. You just need the SD springs and Bilstien shocks and you'll be good to go. I did the RSK w/SD springs back in March. Definitely worth the effort. The difference in the ride is night and day. Cary T. is "The Man" when it comes to this mod. Give him a call if your thinking about doing this mod.
