I am with ya. I took out 8" of lift in favor of

Precision metal fabs 2.25" RSK
OBS RSK SD Spring Hanger Conversion Kit

Superduty U code front springs

Superduty B code rear springs

I run 325/65/18s on 18x10 wheels.

I've been thinking about pulling my lift and doing this same thing. Did you get the optional tow hooks on the RSK? Is that crossbar even stong enough to tow from?

Mine was the prototype so there were no options. But if I were to order one I would get the optional front receiver, and YES, it is more than strong enough

Brad, this means the Superduty Rear springs bolt right up or do the hangers have to be changed? Also, when I look on the site, I put in 97 year, which obviously is not SD. There are also like 9 different codes. Any idea which is which? Also checked the SD springs and they are $313 from my local dealer. Not too bad. if they bolt up and will work for towing, I might just get those and call it good. My springs are toast.

All I did was drill out the hangers to accept the larger SD bolts.

As for aftermarket, not I dod not know how they match up to ford springs
