I would stay away for the SKY kit. I did away with mine and put on a PMF kit, MUCH nicer.

As for shock length, that is hard to say exactly until YOU truck is sitting on all 4 tires

The SKY stuff looks solid. What about them don't you like?

I see the solutions are being worked out, and my input isnt really necessary, but hooooooly hell that is an awful lift. that many springs!?!?!? someone must have really hated their spine when they went with a dozen leafed pack.

only need a couple inches of lift to clear 37's, do the rsk, find some good springs (plenty of suggestions) that don't have arc akin to the famous st lous arch, and use the shackle to adjust ride height to match. keep in mind, the factory f350 springs look very dinky, are virtually flat, and have decent ride quality.

id shackle flip the rear.

I wonder if that truck had a big heavy plow on the front at one time. I doubt it but we put some helper springs on a buddy of mines truck to hold the plow in the winter. Just a thought.

Cutting and welding to put their kit on. PMF just bolts on using existing frame holes

At least that has a 5" RSK to make up some of the lift and not all spring

because they think tall is cool. i saw one yesterday, 12 inch spring lift with 35 inch tires. the bottom of the truck was a good 8 inches above the top of the tires.

You can lose a spring or two and arc them up so you don't lose any lift, or the shackle lift as previously stated. I used to work in a spring shop and have done this a bit

Looked Good I bet if it had Super WIDE tires & wheels

I'm in the middle of a 6" Lift & already have the 2.5" RSK up front.

Their 4" drop Tracking Arm Bracket (panhard as they call it) is super strong & quality built.

Far more superior than any of the competitions IMHO
