I'm going to assume you have the 5.4. Yes?
I resprung my 5.4 non plow prepped F-250 with the "W" coded fronts. I was told that they increase the load capacity by approx. 800 lbs. That just happened to be the weight of my Western blade and carriage. The front of the truck came UP about 1.5 inches. With the plow in the up posistion, The front sags to the "stock" ride height of the "V" springs. IMO the "X" springs would be overkill with the 5.4 unless your going with a 8.5 / 9 ft. V blade.

When I rasied my blade with the X springs, the front of my truck didn't budge, just how I like it
With my SL springs is only twitches about 3/4 of an inch, wich for a aftermarket spring, isn't to bad in my book.
