Default Interior and Suspension

Two separate questions about interiors and suspension..

1. I'm having a hard time seeing the difference between the materials and fit and finish of the XL 101A package and the standard XLT 300A package. Does the XLT have any better quality plastics, cloth, soft touch surfaces, etc over the XL? Also interested in the XLT 300A vs the 301A quality differences. Just looking at the quality/fit/finish of materials differences, not the features.

2. Are there any differences in the suspension heights between..

Standard 4x4 package
2.7L V6 ecoboost payload package
Fx4 package

I'm planning on going with the payload package to get the bigger gearset and locker, but I'm thinking the Fx4 package is a waste for 1k to just get shocks, skids, mats, and modes since the payload package comes with the locker already. I could put that 1k towards some nicer shocks, skids, and mats aftermarket, not too concerned about the modes. Just wondering if the heights are different?

Thanks

I can't answer your other questions, but the FX4 doesn't have a skid plate under the transmission. Just the what I call a felt covered carboard splash shield. The snow ripped the one off of my 2018 and my 2021. I bought a full skid plate package and a Fumoto Valve for easy oil changes from RCI Off Road - https://rcimetalworks.com/
