Rear Skyjacker springs
I have a 92 W250 4x4 extended cab and I put the 2.5 sky jackers on the front and man what a difference in the ride. After feeling the ride difference and looking at the rear springs i think they need to go. So to get rid of the 6inch blocks in the back I need to get the SJA-DR60S sky jackers correct me if I am wrong.

How does the truck sit with those 2.5 springs, Level or nose high? So you say it rides a lot better with those new front springs? Also, did you measure befor and after you started. DId they give you a full 2.5" or a little less. Those Dr60S springs are the ones you want to get rid of the blocks.

The nose is a bit high but I think they will settle esp if we get some snow and they get some plow abuse. It rased my front closer to 3 inches but the stocker were on the bump stops. I would like to raise the rear a bit like a inch or so but I am pretty sure the rears are saging some so i was thinking the rear sky jackers would be perfect. I tow alot and hull a ton or so on a pretty regular basis will these sky jackers hold up?

I just did the same and considered the rears from SJ, but opted to ad a leaf and re-arched the factory rears. Rides a little better, but not what I was hoping for.

I am interested in how well they hold up to the plow. I rearched and added two leaves to mine to hold a Blizzard 810. It initially rose 3 " but has since settled at 2.5". With them and new Rancho front shocks it actually rides pretty good, relatively speaking.

i pm'ed ACE as he has done this lift he said that he had to put airbags on in order to haul heavy loads... i also have been researching the 2.5 and 6 inch rear to rid my truck of lift blocks. i roll across the scales at 8500pds daily. i need air bags maxed @ 100 psi with the stockers to stay level

I have the 4 inch front and 6 inch rears, with 2.75 blocks to get the truck level. I would not haul without airbags. I've dropped 1600lbs in a few times, and it does drop enough, I think they will sag over time, but I don't haul that much so I'm not too worried. They have been on the truck almost 2 years now, and the rear can be a little stiff without some weight in there, but switching from the factory bench to factory buckets made a HUGE difference in ride quality.
