I've been eying the complete X-spec package for awhile. Though the site points to it only being for the sport model. Can it be used on a 4-door?

Sports used mono leaf springs up to 99-00 (can't remember when they went to multi-leaf)

This could be why they don't list it for 4 door models.
 






Does it include the rear lowering blocks still?

See, to lower a sport you merely remove spacer plates in the rear "leaf-pack" , however to lower a 4 door in the rear you must use blocks , with an appropriate pinion angle shape.
 






what size do blocks max out at? I have seen 2in, are there 3in or 4in?
 






On my old 96 I had the EE lower kit, the Edlebrock rev-valved shocks through EE, and the EE swaybars...... along with 11" wide 275x55x17 tires and my truck handled awesome!!! I loved it.

When i sold it i kept the EE swaybars and put them on my wifes stock explorer... still made a world of difference and I also have the EE swaybars on my other explorer. Best upgrade i think you can make.

Looking at picking up a 98, im going to swap the sways over to that as well!
