would it be worth it....

OK, so I just got a 6.0 Excursion, fully bulletproofed on a 30k longblock and 30k tranny. Bone stock except turbo back and SCT tuner.
Obviously I want to upgrade the suspension as my V10 is going to its new home in Texas this weekend.
I also have an F250 that I just put a 4" lift on and my question is, would it be worth using those springs under the Ex since I would normally just order new F250 springs for it. I"m sure they'll be a little worn but I'm going to use airbags in the rear anyway.

Any idea how much they were sagged from stock? You'd only be out some labor if you didn't like the ride or the height. But after just installing the ProComp setup, I'm not sure I'd relish having to do it over again if I didn't like it!

yeah that's what I'm trying to avoid. the spring swap isn't bad on the F250 but it's worse on the EX because there's a little less room. I don't want to do it twice!

hard to tell how much sag they had. The truck cleared my old 32.6" tires I had on my V10 Ex last year.
