Thoughts on this leveling kit?

https://www.carparts.com/details/For...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have a 7.3 idi and it doesn't list that specific engine as being compatible with this set, not sure why? Only looking to get leveled and nothing major, what do you guys think?

only one I've seen is from rough country, that's a 4" lift which is too much for me ans the reviews aren't the best.

Aren't the springs the same for all these engine sizes? Correct me if I'm wrong but when searching for stock springs, they don't change based off the engine size when you search by year and model.

When you got to your link, it says 92 F250, but when scroll down it has the 5.8, and 4.9 engines, when you put your 7.3 in it gives you the following.
