Great detailed vid. Looking to order the exact same kit for my '96 PSD. What size/length drop pitman arm did you end up going with for the 4.5" RSK?

I got the 3” drop pitman arm. You normally match the drop in the track bar relocation mount which was also 3” in my case.

Your problem with that u bolt bracket was you lost like 3 inchs of leaf springs. lol. I know the ride is going to be softer but my 7.3 will be a work hog. I am going to be watching a few videos of yours for ideas and what to expect when I get to rebuilding mine. Ill try and like/comment see if it helps your channel out a bit.

Which front springs did you end up using? V code? X code? I didn't catch it in the vid...

U code. I daily drive the truck so I wanted a smooth ride and I didn’t want the front to sit any higher than 4.5”.

@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 Ah- I keep reading about the U code springs. Very nice! Other than your front springs (I have the 7.3) am going to do the same suspension- I just got back my RSK I bought 4-5 years ago, and it turns out it's a PMF... So I'm pretty happy you're doing these vids!! So again, thanks!

Don’t remember exactly. I tried not to look at the prices since I knew I’d never get that value back out of it. I’d imagine just lift components, not wheels and tires, were somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000 with shocks.

They’re similar but the brand is Pacer. They are the Mod LT 164P. Tires are 35x12.5x17. I can’t remember what offset I got but I believe they are -19mm. I bought them from a dealer locally and they had the best price. I got the tires shipped to my house from BB Wheels online. They are Advanta X Comp MTs.
