lift kit question
I am hoping someone can answer this for me. I just installed a skyjacker 6 inch lift on my 78 f250. It sits pretty nose high. Do they settle down after awhile? I am not using the factory rear blocks because i got new springs front and rear and the instructions said not to use the blocks if i wanted it to sit level. Should I wait awhile and see if the front end comes down or put the blocks back on? This is my first lift kit so any help will be appreciated.

I don't know, those skyjacker 6" use some robust front springs, I bet you will have an inch or so of settle, but I always had to run the factory 2.5" block in the rear, to keep things right. No block seems strange, no bump stop either.

Thanks. I haven't had the chance to drive it yet. I haven't changed over the steering yet. It sits a good 2 inches higher in the front. I think i will put the blocks back on and go from there.

Since you replaced both front and rear springs I would think they would settle about the same amount, so I think adding the blocks would be a good idea. You can always remove them if you have not achieved your desired ride height.
