Extended Radius Arms
Can you install the Skyjacker extended radius arms on a truck that has the Skyjacker leveling springs?

I'm not exctly sure if you can or cannot, but I see no reason why anybody should.
And it would be sort of a waste as the leveling coils wouldn't really allow the arms to work to their full potential. Not enough travel out of the leveling coils to make it worth your while.

 Maybe because Skyjacker's arms mount farther back down the frame rail and at a lower elevation compared to the stock mounts, coupled with the relatively short leveling coils wouldn't allow the arms to sit where they would normally be with a 4" lift.
