I like mine very well & it wrks so much better with rear shackles leaned backwards so springs aren't fighting weight of truck while compressing (lengthening)

Near side is a 99-04 Super Duty longer spring
Far side is 97 & older shorter leaf spring.

Mocked up for pic .... Then I installed SD spring on drivers side.

Note : I had to drill & relocate the Tie Bolt 2.5" Forward in SD springs to center axle in fenderwell.

I kept the 96 front RSK spring bracket location WITH longer SD springs to have the CORRECT rear shackle angle which rides SO MUCH BETTER than the stock 2 leafs with shackles at front bumper.

Most RSK raise front 2.5" over stock ride height.

There are longer shackles available for more lift.
