Product Description

The Skyjacker F35G-B Softride kit delivers a precise 1.5-2" front suspension lift (with up to 2.5" lift on select Ford F-350 gas models) for 4WD Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks from 1980 through 1997. It uses progressive add-a-leaf spring inserts made from shot-peened American steel to enhance load support, restore ride height, and maintain proper suspension geometry without requiring cutting or welding.

Paired with Black MAX heavy-duty front shocks pre-tuned for the added lift, the kit improves ride quality and front-end responsiveness under load. Tie bolts and pre-drilled center pins ensure accurate bolt-on alignment and secure installation. Owners with gas-powered Super Duty trucks seeking a budget-friendly leveling upgrade will appreciate the improved rake and load-handling capability.

Designed for easy direct-fit installation, this kit does not fit diesel engine models. It is ideal for restoring factory rake or improving load-bearing and towing capability while maintaining factory-style suspension geometry. Skyjacker backs the F35G-B with a limited lifetime warranty for enduring performance.
