How To Find Correct Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for a 2008 Ford Expedition

Question

Question:

Hello, I also have a 2008 Expedition that I would like to do some suspension upgrades for more level towing. I saw this part referenced in this answer, but when I follow the link to this product, it states that it doesnt fit. When searching for the 2008 Expy SumoSprings, only the ones listed are for the front axle 4WD and 2WD. Please advise on correct part for SumoSprings on a 4WD 2008 Ford Expedition. Thank you!
