Lo-pro RSK
Hey guys, been out of the OBSs for a little while and looking to see what options I have. I bought 97 F250 supercab 2wd. I am making it 4wd and looking to keep the truck as low as I can but I do want a RSK.
I see SKY offers a 2" and 3" but retains the OBS springs
2"https://www.skysoffroaddesign.com/collections/ford-suspension-1/products/ford-fsr-002
3"https://www.skysoffroaddesign.com/collections/ford-suspension-1/products/ford-fsr-003
They also offer a 4" and that is for using SuperDuty springs

Then I see they have a "Lo-Pro" hanger for the back of the front springs

Then PMF offers their 2.25" utilizing SuperDuty springs.
OBS RSK SD Spring Hanger Conversion Kit
I am just curious if anyone has any measurements on any of the SKY kits.
I have a truck with the PMFs 2.25" and I am just looking to compare heights.
If anyone could offer come shock eye to shock eye measurements, that would be Great!!
Also, have any of you used SKYs Frame box kit for the 92-97s to box the frame for adding a RSK? If so, it is worth the $99?

I'm not so sure how long those would last on a street driven pickup

I see they make them in plastic and those there with the bearings. Seems like Chrysler had been running them back in the day, like 60's or 70's. I don't know how long they would last but I think I'll at least try it....it's only metal

Yes the ones they sell I found are all too small for our springs. I would build a heavier set, and the front bracket would be a lot shorter so I would make it to where it would have holes for superduty and jobs springs. I can't believe I'm telling everybody my secrets
