X springs, are included in the snow plow package, they are the highest rated spring offered for the front.

And you are correct, the FX4 package does not give you anything different spring wise, it includes so called "rancho" shocks, skid plates and stickers.

I understand a few extra threads above the nut but I have a little over 2 inches above the nut. Did they put the wrong U-bolts on my truck at the factory?

Do they stretch and stress to the point of possibly being a problem if they are re-used?

I have a set of 4" rear blocks that came from a skyjacker lift. I replaced them with a full spring instead.
