I really couldn't tell you, lol! I just get in and get out....
I'm about to leave work, I'll pay closer attention as to how I get in and out and post back.
Even with the lift, it's only 2-2.5 inches taller than a stock 4wd Excursion.
See?
I'm parked next to a 2001 stock, 4wd Excursion, with the 7.3...

Is that your X in your avatar? Looks nice! I'd like to see big pics. 
Looking at the avatar it looks as though you have big wheels and small sidewall tires. The shorter the sidewall on a tire the rougher the ride (no flex). Not that it would help much with short sidewall tires but fords answer to a rough ride is lowering the air pressure in the tires.
Even being 2wd the X is still a 3/4 ton truck. Personally we only have 3/4 ton trucks (about 8 of them) and I must say that my X rides the best out of all of them.
With the rancho shocks, what notch do you have them adjusted to? Have you tried playing with their settings much? I have mine set on something like 3-4 in the front and 5-6 in the rear. I found much lower than that made it to gooshy like an old worn out 4 door cady. To low in the front I actually felt the tires "boing" after hitting a bump. "boing" as in bounce like having bad shocks.

There isn't one. We have 2 lift kits available and both are 6 inches.

You may as well convert to 4wd or call a custom shop if you want to go higher with a 2wd truck.

Those are actually the Crystaline 2002 MY headlights, as soon as I saw them, I had to have them. They complement my 7.3 well
Those things look good!
