lift kit

What is the best lift kit for a F-250 97 4x4?
I would like a 3" to 4" kit below $800

Fabtech and Pro-Comp are usually the cheapest kits.

Sky manufacturing has a front shackle reversal kit That will give 3" inch's of lift. has anyone tried this lift kit for the OBS. Procomp doesnt make a lift kit for the 97 f250.

I've heard thats easy to do and you you dont lose anything off the factory ride.

Rough Country lists a 4" kit for $675.00

i have a RSK for 5" front & FSK for 4.5" rear. do i need to get brake line extentions or can i just move the brake brackets to give me some more room?

Could I use Stock superduty leaf springs with the reversal shackle lift kit?

What tire size could I run with the RSK 3" lift kit?

should be abe to use whatever springs you can use now. all it does is lower them.

heres the website where i got mine. should be able to find some info:
SKY-Manufacturing
goto the ford section on the left

arrowstrap did you use the factory leaf springs? What tire size do you have?

I cant remember... i think i have 34" tires. yes, factory springs. the rear flip shackle kit can be bolted to the existing hole, or welded... if you weld it you can move the bracket... i think its 1" of adjustment for 1/2" of additional lift hight. the front is all bolt on. i have the 5" kit so i can fit 37" tires. if you get the 3" kit you wont need pitman arm or brakelines
