Sky Manufacturing?
Anyone running, or have experience with, Sky Manufacturing's shackle flip kits?

I just put all new OEM leaf springs on my '93 F250, THEN decided I wanna lift it. Bass ackwards, I know. So I thought a shackle flip might be a solution over buying all new lifted springs. Body lift is out of the question.

I thought about SKYs rear shackle flip. And then after doing some research i decided NOT to use their products.
I went with a RuffStuff Rear shackle flip.
Also if you are considering a front Reverse Shackle Kit, you can NOT use it with you F250 TTB suspension, you need to have a solid axle in order to uses a RSK

I also recommend the PMF kit. Though, if you have a brick like me, it is a true blue PITA to box your frame to make it work.
Other than that though, it is a wonderful piece of work. The design is great, and it performs wonderfully. I've only had it installed for about 500 miles so I can't really say anything about long-term, but if everything is installed properly and you coat it properly, I think it'll probably outlast your truck
And like Brad was saying, PMF's customer support is awesome!

Now I'm thinking I'll just fork out for lifted leafs in the front and just do the RSK for the rear. Might sting the wallet a little more, but I wasn't wanting to Frankenstein my way through a lift.

As for Lifting a TTB. BAD idea. They were nothing great from the factory. then add lift to them and they get worse

Ugh, looks like it'll be a SFA swap after all. Christ, this truck is turning into quite the money pit. But I'm a sucker for OBS.
