I ended up using the Rough COuntry 2" Super Duty Springs which yield just under 4" on the Excursion. 4" stock Super Duty blocks in the rear which needed holes drilled in the ear for the aftermarket air ride, Skyjacker Nitro shocks on all 4 corners. Tires are Mickey Thompson 315/70/17 or 35X2.50X17.

Awesome looking truck! Has she let you test drive it yet? :thumbs

On edit: if you don't mind me asking, how much did the whole thing cost, suspension and tires/rims?

I was allowed to drive it once I changed out of my work clothes. :witch

The rims an tires were $1421
Lift was $661 after all said and done. for a total of $2081.
The lift was orginally $349. But rough country screwed me and only sent one rear shock and couldn't get me one until next Monday so I called a local 4x4 shop and ordered Skyjackers for all corners since the RC shocks were cheapo hydraulics and I only had (3) of them anyway. I also didn't used the RC blocks because I didin't want to stack the factory block on top of it.So I called I got the stock SD blocks and U-bolts from Ford for $122
The skyjackers were $190 for (4) so the lift total was $661.

I am going to use the RC shocks on my F250, and the RC Ubolts and blocks will go under the 4inch leafs in my Bronco when I install the 10.25 rear and D60 front, because once I do that I am going to probaly upgrade to 42's. :cool:

I think that is perfect looking. Not over-done. Good choice!

Oh yeah, great pix also! Thanks for sharing!!
