250 XL SD Height???

Hey whats up.
Ive got a question. I hear everyone talking about leveling kits for SD's, but I have an 04 250 XL and if anything the front looks like it rides higher. Oh yeah its a 4x4. Although I have noted other SDs that look like the front is considerably lower, 250s and 350s. Mabe Ford corrected this in later years?? Don't know.
Also, can I fit 33's stock??. I was thinking super swamper TSLs-33x12.5
Any input appreciated

Welcome to the site! There aren't many of us XL owners around... seems most people like the bells & whistles.

If your truck doesn't need a leveling kit, then that's more money you can save to buy those 33" tires- which should fit just fine.

I'm shure it's the bell's and whistles that make them ride lower in the front. All mine do!!!

Maybee your truck has the X code snow plow package front springs. They are supposed to sit hight in the front. My 03 does, and you can notice it when parked next to a non-x spring truck. If you do have this package, then you don't need a leveling kit. My truck fits a 305 70 R16 tire just fine (supposed to be a 33 X 12.50 tire)
