Package (86M) or (682)

One more decision prior to ordering 2003 f250 SD v10 4.30LS w/Camper PKG. I would like the truck to be level, and provide a decent ride. Is the MAX. FRONT GAWR PKG (682) an upgrade to the standard PKG and will that option level the truck? Is the SNOW PLOW PACKAGE (86M) an upgrade from the (682 PKG)? Is the (86M PKG too much spring)? I might add on a winch in the near future, but for now only want to level the truck. Any help or opinions are appreciated, Thanks

As far as I know, the plow package gives you the most spring available, with them your truck will be "almost" level.
I beleive they give you about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 over the standard spring.

For my 01 it was an "up grade"

I am going to order the camper, and snow plow pkg which is available for this model and year. Even if the computer will not select the x springs, I'll still get the $70 steering damper? Also I plan on changing tire size of 265/75/16 stock wheels 16x7 to 285/75/16 or 255/85/16. Hopefully I will still be able to fit the truck under the garage height of 83 inches? Thanks for the input, and anymore is appreciated.
