X spring is the heaviest spring offered by the factory, and is included in the snow plow prep package.

Shackles are like any other, easy if you have the tools and have general skills.

This is the leveling kit I put on mine. Took me 3 hrs to put it on. I was able to fit 33's with no problem.

Dukota,
How does your truck ride now? Which shocks did you go with? Any pics?

dukota, your link is to the Rancho setup right? Did you go with the shocks also? I am a bit confused by some companies saying it is a must, while other saying it is not necessary. Also, did you give up the cushy ride for the lift?

The link is to Tuff Country. I still have the stock shocks on it for right now, I did not purchase the shocks because I would like to go with a dual shock setup. The ride feels just a little stiffer up front but that's good because it was a little bouncy before. Don't have any pics right now but it looks much better than it did sitting nose down. I went with Pro Comp all terrains and they give it a much better ride than the Firrestone steeltex I had on it.

Have you found out how high the X springs will give you, Im also looking for about 2-3 inches in front, I have a 03 F250 4x2 and just ordered 18 x 9.5 rims with Michelin 275/65/18 tires. Can't get leveling kit, at least can't find one, and the other option is a 4" lift. Im still trying to figure out if the tires will fit eithout any modifications... Any help?

I went to the dealer a few days ago to find the cost of x springs. Was told $380, I will be going with an aftermarket leveling kit. Probably Tough Country.
