New '06 PSD King Ranch Arrived

Well I picked up my new '06 PSD, Black 4x4 King Ranch CrewCab Dually last Friday. Wow them King Ranch seats are awesome, what a difference. I think the 4.10 diff is great.
The only thing that disappointed me was the factory running boards, don't get me wrong, they are sharp looking with the courtesy lights. But I do have to travel down gravel roads, and after going down 10miles of gravel, I noticed quite a few nick/chips on the dually fenders, which made me ill at the first sight. I ended up taking off the factory boards and putting on a set of J&J Enterprises stainless steel boards to give more protection on the dually fenders.

I'll try to get some pics soon.

Also I'm thinking of adding another leaf to the rear springs to give some lift to the back end, just wondering what I can do to the front end to give it a bit of lift. Would I have to replace the coils?

I believe some folks add a leveling kit... I don't know anything about them, but I'm sure a search would reveal quite a bit of info.

chips in paint

Could you also add some big mudd flaps??, hard or rubber, when I bought
my 2000 F350 all the paint was chipped from the previous owner not having mudd guards, drove it for 100K miles like that, had to bring it to a body guy to sandblast / paint.. Right after that added hard mudd guards..

I found that the 6.0 likes the 4.10's. I find that it is quicker from the get-go, not sluggish at all, as compared to my old '04 that had the 6.0 with 3.73's.
