I recently installed the PMF RSK and V code SD springs. I did the Billies as well along with the PMF adjustable track bar.
Things of note.
The PMF RSK is a beautiful product. I had some alignment issues but I assume thats because these Ford frames may vary bit.
I made the mistake of not sourcing M18 bolts for the SD springs before I started and quickly realized I was screwed. So I drilled everything to 3/4" including the spring eye bushings. I'm still in pain. Lacking a drill press I used a big monster of a drill and every time that sucker grabbed it about tore my wrists off.
The V Code springs I sourced probably had a little more use on them then disclosed and are sitting flat. Zero arch. Which led to the adjustable track bar being bottomed out on its lowest setting. Also meant those Billies have a lot more travel one direction than the other.
I made the mistake of not measuring my hub to fender distance before I started even though I told myself 100 times to do it. Does anyone have that measurement? F350 CCLB 460 engine. Center hub to bottom fender lip. Stock height please.
After instilling everything I am happy with all except I really wanted around 4" of lift. Now before everyone jumps my **** and says why didn't you order the RSK with a higher lift, I don't like how the leaf eye mount sticks down on the higher lift RSKs. I think its looks like poop. Personal opinion. So I did a ton of research and then ordered the Tuff Country mini pack for the gas super duty. I'm going to remove the bottom leaf, maybe two, to achieve a little more lift and get the truck sitting closer to how I wanted. I'll post some pics once done.

Anyone done this yet?
Thanks
24" from fender to center of hub (powerstroke 4wd 5speed cab-n-chassis)
I used the PMF 4.5" with X codes springs track bar, dual steering stabilizer dual shocks up front. In the rear i used 6" springs. I was able to run 37's . I really like all the components and really like the way it handles and rides, I drive this truck up and down the mountains/foothills of Colorado loaded and unloaded, handles great. I still have a ton of plans for this truck just saving the coin

Great looking truck. Where did you get the smoked corner lens?
Got the mini packs installed. New hub to fender height is 28" front and 26" rear. I did the B codes with an additional 1" block in the rear and it wasn't enough. Calling PMF to get some of his $$ trick blocks to get the rear level with the front.
Rides like a dream!
