Anyone have a clue on how pricey it might be to convert the springs and struts from an ST to Platinum OEM set up? Not looking to change the stance, just softer ride

Depends on where you get everything from. Shouldn’t be too pricey though. Honestly, I don’t think you’ll notice that much of a softer ride with the Platinums suspension, I just read a post where someone’s family owns both, and even he said it was barely noticeable.

i just looked up ford springs and struts for the plat and ST and king ranch with 3.0
for 2023 my car they are the same part number
with police models and smaller engine ones having different part numbers
this was on ford parts website
the king ranch and plat come with 20"wheels vice the 21s we have
i am thinking the harsher ride is the 21 wheels with short sidewalls
i test drove a 23 king ranch with 3.0 and it was very different in ride
