Andrew, there is a much better way of getting some lift out of your truck. The funny thing is, the answer comes is made by Ford. Stewart_H did the V&B code spring swap on his '00 Excursion and it makes a world of difference in handling and ride quality. Can't find the thread, but I'm sure Stewart will chime in.

Here's my thread from when I did this popular mod: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/518774-vcode-b-code-upgrade-finished.html?highlight=wander
You may wanna consider perusing this thread too, as it contains lots of info: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/789595-attn-dup-steering-wander-search-results-for-you.html
With my spring change, I got right around 1.5 to 1.75 inches in lift.

The Add-A-Leafs gained me about 2.5 inches in front - but now the front is 1/2 inch higher than the rear with a full tank (and worse with a boat), so I'm adding the 2" lift Add-A-Leafs on the rear ...
I'll send pix when I'm done ...

The add-a-leafs are fine if you ask me. I had one but removed it when I installed my Roadmaster Active Suspension.
Anything that strengthens the spring pack is a good thing. Full replacement is just another option.
