Sweet!! Nolan is a good dude.
I'm sure you'll need at least the white disc and likely the black disc. I'm confident you'll like the ride. It's not too difficult to setup but does require full droop to make adjustments.

Hey everyone,so I recently put the 2.5 inch RC leveling kit with 1 inch blocks on my 13 FX4. Jw if anybody knows if I'd have an issue adding a helper spring on top of those. I should have just bought the kit with only the front spacers. Instead I got the whole set. Does anybody have any tips for me or know of it'll be alright putting the helpers on as well as the new blocks? Thanks guys

Adding a leaf is the way to go if you carry a constant load. Helpers just cause a preload on the main leaf that will come back at you. If you just load every now and then look at the Helwig kits. Another option is a Air Bag system that works well, but with a constant load you would be running with them pumped up most of the time...Harsh ride, They ( The Spring Shop ) can add a #2 leaf ( right under the main leaf )to your springs and you will maintain your ride and Rearch the spring to set level. one leaf will increase your payload 1000Lbs, I owned a Spring shop for 27 years. I use to sell Ride Rite and there a great air system. He should remember I think I was one of his first Dist on the east coast. VA Spring & Alignment.. Wave the hand for me..

Thank you for the very helpful info. I greatly appreciate it. I definitely just load every now and then. When I do I have the bed loaded with red oak firewood.
