They did add coils in 05.
FWIW, there is no 98 F250SD, the SD was released in 98 as a 99 model, those build before 3/99 are known as early 99's and the ones built after that are late 99's.

My bad, i just assumed they started SD's in 98.

Personal i like leafs front & rear, coils give nice smooth ride but leafs hold more weight an you can add to them if need a little more weight holding capability.
