F350 leaf springs

I've had the shackle reversal kit on my '95 F350 PSD CC for over 10 yrs now. I don't remember who the mfg of the kit was back then, but it looks the same.
I put in TWO skyjacker leaves as well. Added 2" blocks in the rear and Rancho shocks all around. I trimmed the inner lower corner of the front fender to prevent rubbing in off-camber situations.
Now on my 3rd set of 35's (just got a set of Hankooks couple of weeks ago).

Really improved the ride over stock, but it still rides like a one-ton truck and certainly is not a serious off-roader unless you want to go real slowwwww.

Met 3 Ford crewcabs coming down a very rocky and rutted canyon last summer as I was going up in my modded xterra. Just watching them rocking, bouncing and the passengers getting thrown all over the place inside as I flew by made me smile and remember those days of bruised kidneys!

I love the truck for what I use it for (TOWING), but something smaller and much more nimble is infinitely more pleasant to go off-roading in.:smiley_drive:

I think that sums things up nicely. I wanted a bit more clearance for my 35s, a better ride etc but this is also primarily a tow/work truck. It will never be a serious offroader or cushy daily driver. For what it is... I also love my 92-97 F350s!
