RSK questions
Hey guys I have a 96 F350 460 5 speed. I can’t stand the rough ride so looking into the RSK kit. Currently it’s got a Tuff Country lift on it, I was told it’s a 4in. As it sits now the front is an inch higher than the rear, 29 in from center of axle to fender in the front and 28 in the rear. I would like the front lower than the rear so when I hook a camper up it sits fairly level. The rear has a 3.5 in block. I would like the front about 2 in higher than stock. What are my option with the RSK kit to get what I’m looking for? What SD springs should I get? Can I just leave the rear with the block that’s in it? I’ll show some pics. Thanks!

I found a thread that answered some of my questions. I looks like the 2.5 in rsk kit with U code springs would get me where I want to be. The question I still have is can I leave the rear where it’s at? Or should I get some B code springs for the rear? Is it a lot better ride changing the rear also? Thanks

The B code rear is definitely a better ride in my opinion. Also, those rear blocks do not look factory. The F250 4x4 has 2" blocks and the F350 4x4 has 4", and both have ears or horns cast into them to engage the rubber travel limiters.

Thanks for the reply! I did figure it wasn’t a factory block in the rear since it wasn’t 4 in. Looks like I’ll be doing the rear also. Are you guys using superduty springs in the rear also and will they bolt right up? Thanks!

I believe to use 99-04 rear springs you need to drill the front hanger out slighly for the larger bolt used in the SD spring. You also need to use a shackle from a 99-04 truck.
There is write-up on here somewhere about it, but that's how I recall it worked out.
