Factory leveling kit?

Anybody know if the Heavy Service Suspension Package is like a factory leveling kit if there is no extra load on the front suspension? Will it sit higher in the front?

Leveling

It all depends what springs are in there now, and if they are sagged out or not. The springs that will definately level it are the code "X" springs that were used when the truck was ordered with the snow plow prep package. My truck had code "S" (4000 pound) springs in it from the factory, and I installed the "X" (6000 pound) springs in it. It lifted it about 2 inches, but it now rides quite a bit harder.

I was planning on ordering an 08 F250 and will order the Heavy Service Suspension Package if it sits higher in the front or will I have to order the Snow Plow Prep Package?
