Skyjacker lift for Highboy

Does the four inch Skyjacker for a highboy sag in the rear or is the rear higher than the front. (even after a few years)

I have a 76 highboy with shot springs so I am looking for a kit with springs. What is the distance after the (4 inch skyjacker with springs)lift from the center of the wheels and the top of the wheel wells.

I want ot jack my truck up and see what it will look like when lifted.

I haven't found any other kits for my 76 f250 4x4. Are there any other companies that make a suspension kit.

Thanks for any info

Custom springs would be more expensive than a kit from skyjacker wouldn't they?

Also, for a highboy what size tire could I run with the four inch skyjacker lift? I think it's supposed to articulate more, so at full articulation what is the largest tire I could run without rubbing?

Thanks,

Jeff

a good spring shop will be the same price at worst, around here, its usually cheaper to have them made.
