another skyjacker question

[tx_fireman1525]

I tried doing a search but couldnt find it. I was looking for the part# for the 4" skyjacker lift kit, anybody know?

For your '93 W250 the 4" kit is either D492CDKS, or D400CDAK depending on if you want an add-a-leaf or a larger block to raise the rear.

Keep in mind that you will have to do the pitman arm, drag link, and sway bar extentions if you go up 4".

on that kit, in the rear does it have one big block to replace the stock one, or another one to go on top?

 

[BHiggins]

It comes with a replacement block (one big block for each side). That's the kit I used on my '92.

I just got the skyjacker 4" kit for mine. I ordered the replacement rear springs for it, the rears are 6" with a 2" block to get rid of the biggest freaking lift block I've ever seen.

Be prepared to wait awhile for it, my front springs are still on back order. They must custom make the springs for these things. I can't imagine why:-laf

Have they done anything yet to resolve the 1/2" vs 5/8" front spring eye bolt issue?

if i get the 2 inch kit for my 93 d250, will i have to do the pitman arm, drag link, and sway bar? also, i couldnt find any prices on the skyjacker website.

i have the 2" skyjacker kit on mine, and i didn't do the pitman arm, ect. Some people say you do, but i havnt had a problem out of mine yet.



That kit did a great job of leveling out the front. Now its time to go bigger!!

Stink Bug

My parts truck had a skyjacker 4" on it. My truck had broken leaves on 3 of 4 springs. I am halfway through the swap. I hope to finish it within the next week or so. The rear springs with 6" of arc and the 2" block are installed. The front is still low and the truck looks like a stink bug. :-laf

One think I don't like is the fact that the factory 6" lift blocks had an overload pad on them that hit the bumpstop at full compression. I now do not have that protection and the rubber bumpstop is completely useless now.

Comments / ideas on that????

I am a SRW 350 and am thinking of putting a turnover ball in the bed for occasional use with a 32' gooseneck with a 14 k backhoe on it.



On the bushings. The PO drilled out the skyjacker bushing and pressed in a stock bushing sleeve. It looked cool, but when the parts truck took an impact (hence the parts truck) the front bushings didn't fare too well being thinned out that way. I think it will be stronger and last longer without the sleeve and just running the bolt directly on the bushing. I will use plenty of dry lube on the bolt first when I install it.

2" you won't have to do the pitman arm or drag link. I've had two first gens... A '90 with a 2. 5" Skyjacker lift, and a '92 with the 4" Skyjacker lift so I'm speaking from experience.
