Due for some suspension work

Bair · Jan 6, 2014

What options do we have for improving ride quality without a lift. Every RSK lifts the truck about 3" and I do not want to lift although I like the idea of the RSK. Basically I was going to be doing shocks and thought I should research a total revamp. What's your thoughts?

Doesn't PMF have a rsk that doesn't lift the truck much?
I see Tom S looking at this thread, maybe he will chime in.

I've talked to Cary about this before and he said he has done 05 axle swaps and use factory sd suspension. I think he has full coilover kits also but I could be wrong

Yeah I'm planning to give him a shout before I do anything real major. I've thought of doin an 05 an up axle swap but that just has an expensive ring to it. Anybody that's done that want to give some input?

Pm me too

Blair.... If u want to stay stock height I'd go with 05+ axle swap. By the fact u have a D-60 up front u can get most of your cost back out of sour swap. I know a guy who has everything u need for sale in Glasgow DE. Bout an hour from u. Prolly around 1000 bucks for everything

With Pmf RSK kit and SD I think your still looking like 3" over what u have now

Cool. Is that including both axles?

Well, thanks to Frank for hookin me up.

Total swap setup from a local connection he had and a weld on track bar mount from ballistic fab. I can't wait to get this done. Pretty excited to feel the difference it makes. And thanks everybody else for advice and offers for parts. Also I'll have my factory Dana 60 and all supporting hardware for sale in the classifieds.

I wish I could have gave u a ride in mine but I had to roll. If I can give u a hand on the swap I will take u for a spin

Thanks for the offer and I'm sure you'll be hearing from me. Doesn't seem too difficult but I'm sure I'll be needing a hand.
