my RSK only lifted it a max of 1/2"
but i have more time in my rear shackles than it would have to install this whole kit.

I used one of those kits on my f350 in September, I haven't driven it yet though.
The kit is kinda cool since it leaves the stock shackle mount in place. But it isn't perfect. The box in plate had to be trimmed where it hit a couple rivets.
I installed it with the radiator support out, but I did try to shove the plates into the frame horns on my f250 that still has a diesel radiator support (tall radiator), it would not fit unless the radiator support was removed to do the install.
Putting the stock bumper back on required trimming the bumper where it hit the new spring mount, and shimming the whole bumper forward a fraction of an inch.
It was all likely less work than making a 92+ kit work though.

Well, now I need one
I have the 3" version they make for 92-96 frames that I was going to adapt.

This lookes good and I think bolting a decent winch bumper on truck totally got super simple if you fab it with the plates in mind.
It would be easy to make plates thar bolt on top of outer plates and also use the factory humper holes.
This just may be ordered here and soon guy gotta do what guy gotta do.

Awesome. Would prefer less droop below frame but at that price for bolt on vs redesigning the wheel to keep shackles higher I'll probably bite and just add a leaf in rear to even it out.
This kit uses stock springs I assume since rear location stays the same. Can anyone compare RSK with factory vs superduty springs?

will super duty F350 front springs suffice?
can get measurements tomorrow AM

The rear location normally stays the same with superduty springs, the front mount is moved forward. I have both super duty and stock springs at my house. Can measure for you when I get home
In this pic you can see how far forward the mount is for superduty springs compared to the kit above

still too pricy for me, might make the buffalo scream 
The one I used is a pmf kit designed for 92-97 trucks. I modified it and adapted to older frame. But also that kit is to use 99-03 superduty springs
