Final question W's or X's

Finally sold my V10 X and want to now focus on getting my 01 7.3 off of the bump stops. I do not have the $$ to upgrade the rear springs, so I will install F350 tapered blocks. I had V's on the V10 and had a 1 1/2 rake after they settled in. What code for the diesel will bring it level or still slightly nose down with stock rears and F350 blocks? I have searched and searched and found some with X codes, but very little with the W's. Thanks.

According to the spreadsheet, the spring rate and capacity of the W's is halfway in between the V and X.

X's are the snowplow package springs at 6000lbs,,, get the X's if you are not worried about a little harsher ride
