Obs shackle reversal on an 87-91 truck?

[97strokerHD]

Has anyone ever used a shackle reversal/super duty axle swap kit for a 92-97 ford on an 87-91 ford? Just wondering what would have to be done to make it fit because I know the frame horns are different. Looking at buying a bricknose in the future and might have the axles readily available so just wondering what it would take to make it work.

Sky has a 2" rsk for the earlier frames. Not sure if you could get it to work with the superduty springs.

They do have one for the older trucks but it's just a standard rsk. I was asking about using one to swap in super duty axles and springs. The super duty axle front spring perches are wider.

I would give sky a phone call.

I called them today and he said that there really isn't anything he can do for me.

Maybe you can call PMF and see if he could build you a one-off.

That's an option. I've heard a lot of good things about them. For some reason I thought that someone on here had done and they just boxed the front of the frame so.it would slightly resemble the 92-97 frame.

I'm planning on doing my 91. I have been looking at it a while. I believe the OBS kit will work if you can fab a little. If you look close at SKY or ORU they just provide a box for the frame. And a good welder can move the spring mount point 3 1/2 in or so fw under the bumper to use the SD springs. Not hardly worth it with out SD springs.
