5100 or HD Bilsteins?

I have a 2009 F250 SC SB which currently has no suspension mods. It sits perfectly level as it has the snow plow prep springs up front. My question is can I run these 5100 Blisteins without any issues, or would I be better off with the ugly HD's?

It says that they are for F250s with a 2" front lift and a 1" rear lift. The way I'm looking at this is that I have a factory 2" front lift and if I was to put F350 blocks in the rear, I would be within their requirements.

You shouldn't have any problems with the 5100's with the plan you have. Just remember that they run around $300 for all four with no warranty. What is this factory 2" lift your refering to?

Just refering to the already leveled stance with the snowplow prep package. I just assume it's around 2" higher in the front than trucks without that package as a 2.5" leveling kit is supposed to level out a truck with a factory raked stance.
