E350, Perfect

When I unboxed these I could not believe the quality and just how heavy duty they were. Bolted up easy after grinding out the old ones. My only thing is it could come with better detailed instructions. Will defiantly be back for more parts.

Beautiful!

As expected Sky’s delivered another very well designed and built part. As mentioned in the notes it will move your axle forward a bit but I’ll take that over super tall blocks any day!

Work on Vans too

Used on my 2010 E350. The 4.5" kit gave me 3.5" of lift. Very pleased with the results. Had to use a 6deg. shim to correct the differential angle. Very good product. Easy to install.

Awesome, glad to hear it! We will be making an E350 section on the website as all the rear suspension parts for the OBS F350 work on the E350 as well and within the next year we hope to develop some kits for the front as well.

Why can't they get it right?

All these warnings about moving the axle forward, changing pinion angles, I just can't understand why they design something that doesn't just bolt on and work

My truck is completely stock and the shackle flip moved my axle 2 inches forward and made my pinion angles not drivable.

Now I have to do a whole bunch of other custom work to make the truck usable again. Sure it's a quality product but there's no research and development behind it.

We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced. We've been working on improving our website so customers are able to find the info they are looking for. We have added easy access tabs with clearer instructions. Per the Installation tab, it reads: 'Pinion angle should be checked after installation, corrected if needed. Axle center line may have moved forward from stock.'

Perfect fit!

I bought the 4.5" shackle flip to go with my 5" front shackle reversal and used a 1/2" lift block and my 96 f250 is perfectly level. I avoided using a sketchy big lift block this way plus it rides so much better! I will say though the 4.5" flip pushed the wheel very noticeably forward in the wheel well so I had to custom fab the lift blocks to move the axle 1 1/4 inch rearwards on the springs, no big deal though. Great product!
