Is Drilling Required to Install Torklift StableLoad # TLA7310S in 2018 Ford F-350

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 4x4 SRW F350 with upper and lower overload springs. This model lower stableload says that drilling is not required. The other model torklift stableload #TLA7311 says drilling a hole into the lower overload spring is required. Is it true that this model will fit my truck without drilling?
