Adding springs in front, blocks in back

Hi ALL,
I have found some 3" wide springs from an E350 and made 2" blocks for the back, I am thinking of lifting my Wife's X up. (4x4 6.0 diesel) Just putting in some more springs in the front and adding a block in the back should give me a 2" lift. I am getting new shocks too.

Best improvement you can make if you do it right. I put in the "W" code springs from an F-350, raised the front 2.5". The rear blocks came from Ford and added 2". The blocks have the snubber attached. I put the Helwig sway bar and Bilstein shocks. WOW this thing handles like a sports car and rides great. The truck looks great slightly lifted and level with the 315 tires. It's to bad we have to spend all this time and money to correct the problems Ford built into the Excursion.
