"
Sitting pretty much level, but it gives the impression that the front is higher, I might dial the RAS to a Quarter + Dime Gap to raise the rear .5". I think my Monroe silver shock in the front makes it look like a bigger space then what it is.
I haven't taken it over the Appalachian mountains yet, but I can tell it rides stiffer and true to course when I hit local pot holes and railroad tracks at 55.
Change out Rear sway to 30mm. People say this combats the roll a lot over stock.

I love the Hellwig, other than actual spring swap, it's the best mod I've done.

The Hellwig most are talking about is just the rear. I am not sure they make one for the front. They are a few millimeters thicker than the stock ones IIRC. It made a TON of difference in my X as it came without one from the factory.

Soooooo I guess the X codes are F250 Specific? I asked about them for the Ex and they werent an option.

Yep, the EX's didn't have any spring choices or options, just these low weak EX specific leaves. The X codes came on F-250/350 trucks with the snowplow prep package and also on F-550's, they are heavy duty units!

I used v in the front and modded b in the rear. Rear was higher than the front I ended up adding one of the leafs from the old rear springs to the front to get it a little higher. In hindsight I would have gone with the x codes after putting the winch and bumper on it.

It means WEAK. You must have a 7.3. That's what I have in mine CG and my front springs are just about inverted. I'm slowly gathering parts for my swap.

Mine is actually a 6.8, and my fronts are inverted, sitting just a couple inches off the bump stops. I barely squeeze under the garage door as it is, with the 285/75r16's on there, dunno if I could squeak it in with 3 more inches of height, lol. Would be nice to have the heavier springs though.
