One Lift Kit Covers Diesel and Gas Super Duty Trucks
The Skyjacker F965 is a leaf spring suspension lift built to deliver 6 inches of lift on diesel powered Ford Super Duty and Excursion trucks and 8 inches on gas powered versions, covering 1999 to 2004 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty along with 2000 to 2005 Excursion 4 wheel drive models. Because diesel engines add weight to the front axle, Skyjacker engineers the F965 spring rate to account for that difference so ride height and handling stay balanced regardless of engine choice. The kit includes front leaf springs engineered for heavy duty use, letting owners run larger tires for better ground clearance while towing or hauling.
Key Features
- Components engineered for both diesel and gas front axle weights
- Delivers a greater level of off road performance
