Installation Notes:

Sway bar will need to be deleted, or will need end links extended. Our 3" Sway bar end link extensions are available here: 85-97 F-350 Sway Bar End Link Extensions

We have had a few customers with worn out spring bushings and sliders have issues with clearing the shackles on the 2" FSR kits with the military wrap. You need quality to spec parts to make this work. (If using used springs with this kit)

Instructions for Replacing Leaf Spring Bushings and Isolators

It is common for the front frame horns to be spread due to age as the only thing holding the front of the frame together is the rivets at the engine cross member. You may need to pull the frame together to get the hanger on.

These trucks were not built to a high level of precision. Some of the rivet holes may need to be opened up with a die grinder as the holes may not line up perfectly.

When installing this kit with lift springs, the springs are often shorter than stock as they are re-arched stock springs to get more lift. We recommend drilling just one hole for the spring hanger and holding it in place with one bolt until you are able to set it down and check to see that the shackle angle is satisfactory. Then drill the remaining holes.

97 Powerstroke CCLB 4X RSK

I did the 2” RSK on my 97 7.3 CCLB 4x with the softer Excursion springs and Bilstein 5100’s back in April of 2021. Quality craftsmanship with good directions made the instal a straight forward weekend job in my driveway. This is my daily driver and 5th wheel RV tow rig. Ride is fantastic and smooth! Almost to smooth. I’ve considered adding the dual front shock set up out of curiosity but just haven’t because I really enjoy the way it is. Many miles of thanks to Sky for their RSK kit.

Quality

I started the ground up restoration on my 1994 CC and at first got the kit from “the other guys.” That kit required using a bottle jack and blocks of wood to spread the rails apart which I thought was odd for a truck that’s never been wrecked! Throughout the painting of the frame and restoration it was wearing on my conscious so I decided to purchase this kit from Sky’s to see how it fit. The answer is... It fit perfectly!! The front cross member fit like a glove (no bottle jacks required). The shackle hangars are great quality and so is the rest of the kit and it came with all the bolts required (no trips to the hardware store). Hands down this is the kit if you are looking for one. The hardest part is removing the rivets but with a good air chisel/hammer they pop right out.

excellent work Skys!

truck is a 97 f350 cclb 4x4 with the diesel, i did the 4" reversal with the x code SD spring to replace a "not so well planned out" air bag setup installed by previous owner. was very nervous i went too big. My truck sits 1 inch higher than the rear which will set perfect with a rear shale flip.I ordered U bolt flip kit with shock mounts, and a new set of upper shock mounts, and the panhard drop. i will make a new bracket for panhard at axle due to cutting off factory mounts. Everything installed smooth, fit well and the quality of these parts is top notch. I've only taken it around the block being i don't have shocks yet, but it is a major improvement over the three link air ride. Great work guys! will be ordering more soon!

Sounds like your project is moving along. We love to hear this. Thank you for the review TR! We'll be here for your next steps.

97 CCLB

Installed this on a 97 cclb 7.3. Literally felt like a whole new truck. Now I want to try this kit with the rear 08-16 SD springs to see how much better it is.

ride is better than expected

I just finished installing the front end shackle reversal kit with new Super duty springs and the rear reversal kit with traction bars. The ride is amazing compared to the stock set up. Even more important is the ride when pulling my 3 horse gooseneck trailer with living quarters. It went from feeling like someone hit the frame with a sledge hammer at every bump to feeling like a water bed. Great parts and great design. Only issue, if you have an aftermarket intercooler on your truck you have to remove it to install the new front spring hanger bolts, which means tearing the whole front end off. It is worth it in the end, feels like a brand new truck.
