It will bolt right up to the stock springs.
The 350 front springs will probably be the same springs you have now.
X code springs are a heavier spring rate, X code 250 and X code 350 springs are the same spring.
I had a local spring shop build me a set of 4 leaf X springs for mine. 600 dollars for both springs and all the mounting hardware last year. Now when I put my snow plow on, the truck don't even know it is there.
