What exactly is the difference in rsk and suspension lift? What are the pros and cons of each? I have priced both...
Suspension is around $200 more. I am looking for an aggressive stance with a smooth ride.

Reverse shackle is just that, moves the front shackles to the rear spring hanger location and adds a drop down style hanger up front. It's helps with suspension geometry. How tall you looking to go?

I dont really know no more than 6 inches but I definitely want a smoother ride. I would like to see pictures of several different styles/sizes. If possible

Reverse Shackle
Here is a pic of an RSK on a TTB dana 50. I believe the biggest you can go with an RSK is 4 inches, but I may be wrong on that. However, if that is the case, you will still have to buy another lift, especially to lift the rear. They do make them for the rear, but I remember reading somewhere that that is not good for towing. Anyway, an RSK transfers the absorbtion of bumps to the rear of the springs, alledgedly softening the ride

Hey blue what size blocks are in the 4" rear lift? Is your truck an F250 or F350? Im going to do the RSK 3" but being an F250 I hear you can just use the F350 rear blocks and it gives you the 4" lift instead of the F250 blocks.
