I think airbags, also the V/B mod is for 4x4s, but I think you can add some F350 99-04 2wd coil springs up front to help.

I don't have a lot of money and want to try to take of both problems.

my ex is a 2005 6.0 2wd with 120k miles.

2wd means you have coils up front so the V codes aren't an option for you.

Since money is tight, I'd suggest the RAS and a Hellwig rear sway bar if you don't already have a sway bar.

RAS is a supporting vendor here now and they have a special going on for FTE members until Dec 21st. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post12505440
