okay I found out the RSK can be done with a F-250 you just need to get the taller pivot brackets but you probably should not use the superduty springs because the f-250 spring are actually thicker than even the same year f-350 spring since they have to withstand the twisting of the axle along with the normal compression of the suspension.

The rsk is a shackle reverse kit. the front springs on our truck has the shackle on the front of the spring which is the opposite way it should be for a smooth ride. the natural movemnt of the spring when hitting a bump should move rearward but with the shackle on the front the movement is all wrong. so the shackle reverse kit comes with a fixed bracket for he front of the spring mount and then moves the shackle to the rear to be attached to the existing spring bracket in the rear right by the cab mount.

I don't have to do the Dana 60 conversion with the RSK right? This would be mod that just replacing the springs right?
How hard is it to change the pitman arm?
Since I have an intercooler on my 97 do I need to get the one equiped for it? I don't see any differences between the two kits.
Also, what are some good front shocks?

if you do the RSK with the stock F-250 dana 50 axle then you need to get the drop pivot brackets that will also lower the mounting point of the pivot of the axle. thereby raising the truck when used with a lift kit or RSK. longer shock probably too. the best people to ask about the RSK is the manufacturer. But as far as I know thats what need to be done to do the RSK on a stock axled F-250
