No the frame on the XLTs are different because they do not have the torsion bar suspension.

and the coil springs go inside the lower part of the frame on the 2wd's that are non-Edge.....you would have to modify the frame to get that offset (buldge) for the coil spring to not be there if you wanted to go with coils...

I would recommend selling your truck and buying one that is a 4wd...
