Conversation Between Diesel_Brad and kingle

Hey man. I'm looking into lift options for a 97 f350 7.3L 4x4... It's a crew cab long box and is basically stock but might have a levelling kit or something as it doesn't sit quite as low as stock... Anyways, I was looking into reverse shackle kits and you keep coming up on the threads so I thought I'd ask you directly...

How much total lift do you think is possible with an RSK? Would I be better off just doing a skyjacker 5-6in kit in terms of price, or is it possible to achieve the same amount of lift AND a better ride with an RSK. They seem cheaper but I'm not sure everything is included in the packages available through PMF. I want to get up to 8 inches of lift but would settle for 5-6 maybe if the RSK is worth it in terms of ride and cost. Other than the PMF kit, what components would I need. U-bolts on the truck are recently replaced.
