Nope, You have the pivot bracket for the TTB. Didn't I read that you were gonna do a RSK? You might check with Sky and see if they have an available track bar bracket.

Your truck won't have that bracket cause it doesn't have a track bar. That's what limits the side to side travel of the D60. The TTB axle is kept from moving side to side by the pivot mount. You'll definately need one from a F350.

Yea, 3 bolt holes across the top where it attaches to the crossmember and a place on the bottom for the trackbar.There are at least 3 OEM's on ebay and a few more aftermarket ones for a lifted truck.

If you're lifting it 4 of more inches you will need a drop down bracket like this one... Tuff Country Track Bar Bracket

Are you leaving your 6" lift on or taking it off?

What are the advantages of the RSK, better ride ?

The roads around here are so rough I don't think that would help me ! Even the interstate that runs through here ( which is a toll road ) feels like you're driving on train tracks! Literally, bu-bump bu-bump bu-bump

I used the tuff country drop bracket. Think I only paid around $60 for it. I had the 4" lift kit before the D60 and left the 7 leaf spring pack in. Rode so crappy I was about to sell the thing. RSK with two leafs installed is worth a million bucks.
