i thought it was just cause they are 27 years old!! and did 25 years in the woods with the fire department..maybe putting a helper spring in wouldn't hurt tho..on all 4 corners jsut cause of age

1991 F250 solid axle. Dana 60 and Dana 70

Im building a offroad truck and I am needing a BIG lift to clear 42x20 lawn and turf tires. I have removed the TTB and springs and installed solid axle Dana 60 in the front and Dana 70 with disc brake conversion in the rear. Im looking to put a 6" spring lift and a 4" or so shackle drop on it. All I can find is the Sky manufacture reversal spring drop for a 1992+ truck. Has anyone put this on the 1991 and earlier frame?

The shackles are the same from 80-97F250/F350 or 96F150.

The shackles are the same but the reverse shackle kit for a 1992+ are different due to the frame ears
