They will fit. I'm not sure what the P code spring rate is... there are charts on this forum with that info.
Also, on the sway bar, you may want to measure it. There is a 26mm (about an inch), and a 30mm (about an inch and a quarter). The mounting hardware is the same, but the bigger bar is better for the X.
Good luck!

The SD received suspension upgrades in '05 that the Excursion never had, I would not be so sure that those springs would be a direct fit. 
Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of the suspension upgrades will chime in.

The front was changed to coil springs, but the rear kept the leaf style and they're interchangeable with ours up until '08 when they went with a longer leaf. I believe they changed the code rating in '05 (a B code was changed to a ?? code, same spring). Just to keep things confusing, apparently!

Not sure what lookup you are using but looking at the build sheet from Ford it is built with a P code rear spring, not a B. The P spring has an overload, the B code spring for the 2004 F250 did not have an overload.

I'm using a Ford system to look this up. The rear spring part number tied to that vin has the same specs as a B. Does your book list a part number for the P code?

3C3Z-5560-BA is the part # listed for a B code on a 2004 F250.
4C3Z-5560-MA is the part # listed for a X code spring on a 2004 F250.
