The solid state conversion box still sends out a ground to engage the leveling solenoids, the reverse of what you now need, so I don't think that will help. Perhaps the guy doing the solid state conversion can make up a special-er for you. I haven't see one, but I think all they are doing is replacing the mechanical/thermal time delay gizzie with a 555 timer chip circuit.

You could use the new solid state box and switch the solenoids (which are under the car, near the leveling motor ) to regular Ford-type solenoids that ground through the chassis and are fed a hot (+12V) signal to engage.
You could do that. And using Ford parts usually makes the non-original crowd happy.
