No. Any SD springs necessitates running and RSK with the correct spring spacing (3.375" longer than an OBS spring)

 

What size tires do you rsk guys run???

 

I run 35s on my 3 RSK trucks

 

Are 35s and 285s pretty close?

 

285s are only 33x10

perfect example

2.25" RSK w V codes and 315s


same truck but 285

 

I suppose it doesn't really look bad with 285s

 

You keep telling yourself that. LOL

 

these are 285s with the sky rsk

 

How much modifying did you have to do with the fisher plow?

 

I had to notch the supports that goes up behind the bumper. Wasn't too bad, but trying to get the bumper back on with the RSK bracket and the plow mount was a huge pain in the ***. Barely enough room to get a wrench in there.

 

1980 - 1997 F350 front and rear leaf springs

Looks like general spring KC has a few options for front springs with different weight ratings for the OBS setup..... what do you guys think would be the best option of these available springs to get the best ride quality and longest lasting setup.....

I drive way to much highway to justify lifting my truck and buying bigger tires than 285's and from the full side view I just saw that won't look good lol

 

Here is mine with a Sky 3" RSK, "D" code front springs, "B" code rears on F250 blocks and stock wheels with 285/75/16 Michelins.

Nice truck Rusty. A lot like mine, just cleaner. Your's appears level with the F250 blocks? Mine sits nose high with the Sky kit and OBS springs, with a F350 block! Maybe my Sky kit that is about to get ripped off is actually a 5" kit or something. I'm hoping I lose a few inches with the PMF kit and SD springs, I could easily run 37s right now, my fender gap makes the 35s looks small.

I'll take some before/after pics on Friday when I get started.

 

Anybody got any input on the softer springs that are designed for the obs in the link I posted?

 

My "D" code fronts are Excursion springs and a touch softer than the "U" codes others are getting great results from, too. Mine rides great, has plenty of travel and sits level with F250 blocks and "B" codes in the back.
