[pybyr]

Are there any shackle reverse kits available that don't require raising the front end?

No. 2.5 inch lift is minium

Bags... DEFINATELY on the list.

I personally like the look of a truck that is "slightly" nosed up. But, when towing, especially heavy, the bags would be key. They're on the list.

I haven't been able to find a air bag system that will work with my "pop up" gooseneck hitch. I don't currently use the gooseneck, but I don't want to ditch it either. Maybe i'll just have to mod-erfy' some brackets....

...and the tires are 315's...

And for the record, the truck drives GREAT with this kit on it... but honestly, I did not notice a "HUGE" difference in ride. Its STILL a leaf sprung F350
...the kidney pain is part of the trucks charm...

From what i've read...not for TTB either! (a couple asked) as I've been researching this too.

I am still not sure on the shackel reversal theory, but I have to admit leaf springs on the ttb was not one of Ford's greatest ideas, and the ttb would need more help than just shackle reversal to get it right.

I agree, thus the Dana 60 under mine!

So you can put a shackle reversal kit on a TTB setup? A little lift would be nice. Anybody have a link?

 

[resqzuzu]

You can but you would need to have drop brackets for the ttb and it is usually not recommended. I know SKY typically doesn't recommend it not sure about ORU

IIRC the F-350s have the rear mounted springs, believe the F-250s have the shackle in the rear.

NO. the F250 and 350 front springs both have the shackle in the front of the front spring till 99
