clutch problem

Hi guys i have a 1997 Ford ranger with a 2.3 L 5 speed. I replaced the clutch about a year ago and installed a Sachs brand kit there is no problem except that it is harder to press than others. I replaced the clutch on my son's truck (same year ranger ) and used a Luk kit and it is much lighter to press. My truck takes 51 lbs to press the clutch pedal. Before I change my pressure plate again and since there are so many brands of kits out there, Does anyone know which brand clutch kits is the lightest to press the pedal? Just to let you all know there is nothing wrong with the clutch, master cylinder, slave cylinder or bleeding on my truck.

Thank you

LUK made a lot of the Oem clutches for Ford. They work well and I never had one that was hard to depress. If you used a Sachs stage II then the stiffness expected.
