Level Out Your Super Duty With a Hydro Shock Lift System
Full size Ford pickups from the 1980s and 1990s often sag under heavy front ends and worn springs. The Skyjacker SKYF840TK-H suspension lift kit gives 1980 to 1996 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks a controlled 4 inch lift using new leaf springs, U-bolt kits, hinge brackets, and a spring bushing kit paired with Hydro shocks. The SKYF840TK-H is engineered to restore level ride height, add clearance for larger tires, and keep the factory-like ride quality that these work trucks depend on. Every SKYF840TK-H kit ships with the mounting hardware needed for a complete, bolt-on style installation on compatible two-wheel or four-wheel drive trucks.
