I have the T springs (heavy service suspension) and they are decent in a SC SB 4x4 F250 with Rancho 9000x's set to 7 out-of 9.
My truck has already settled an inch or so, over 17K miles, since I got it new in '02.
I wonder if you should just drive it for a while until they settle and see what they are like at that time? Otherwise, find someone who wants to trade on here... I'm sure someone would be willing to give you a set of lighter springs in return for the X springs

If you guys want to talk trades or selling, please do it OFF the boards.
If you search the Excursion Forum, you'll will find the Spring Chart that all front springs are coded by.
The Heavy Service springs are different on a Crew Cab, than say a Regular Cab....for example
