Question:

My 2014 F-250 CC SB 2WD calls for the SDG kit on both your site and Timbren site. However, when I measure the actual distance between my truck frame at mounting site and axle, it is about 8.5inch unloaded. The recommended SDG kit is 6.5inch long, which means that the spring would sit around 2.0inch above the axle when unloaded. The SDF kit is 7.25inch or 7.75inch with the included spacer. It is the kit recommended for some prior F-250 model years, but it seems like it would be a much better fit for my truck, given that Timbren recommends that the spring sit about 1inch above the axle when unloaded. My truck is stock, no lift and no tab. The spring would rest directly on the axle. Do you agree that the longer spring kit would be a better fit for my truck?

I spoke to my contact at Timbren, I explained your situation and they said that in your situation you could go ahead and use the Timbren System part # TFR250SDF. The mounting bracket is the same as the # TFR250SDG with the only difference being the 1 inch spacer included with the # TFR250SDF.

Before you do this I would recommend you go out and double check the measurements you took on your truck.

I attached an install video for you to check out also.
