Dually RSK question?

I searched but couldn't really find the answer I'm looking for so figured id ask. I plan on doing a 2.25 PMF RSK in the front with U Code SD springs in the future, along with swapping on a dually axle and a flatbed. That said, there is a 02 SD F450 in the local junk yard right now. Would the rear dually springs be a good combo with the weight of the flatbed and would they work with an RSK as they're for a 450? Thanks guys.

Are you asking if it would sit level? The rear end wont having any effect on the rsk fitting.

If they are a 10 pack leaf like mine, just so you know, they are a rough ride empty. Decent roads are fine, but bad roads you will feel the bumps real good. I run them with no block, and the front end stock height. I have a slight rake, rear is a little higher. I'd guess if you use the rsk on the front that raises it about 2 inches you could use these springs and the 2 inch block in the rear and the height would be about right.

Again though, if you drive it empty much you may want to look at SD 350 springs and a 4 inch block for a smoother ride.

Yah thats what I mean, as far as leveling out the rear. Because the front is pretty easy I'm just trying to figure out the best option for the rear.
