Ford Excursion In terms of size, the Ford Excursion is the king of big sport-utilities. Supremely stable at speed, it feels safe and secure on the open highway. Whether you have a lot of cargo to carry, a bunch of people to transport, a big trailer to pull, or all of the above, the Excursion is ready for whatever you throw its way. It can tow up to 11,000 pounds and seat 8-9.

Default See what you think of my excursion

So I have decided to raise /level my Excursion. I installed a set of ProComp 2.5in front Shackle kit which uses that factory front springs. Doing it this way allows you to maintain the ride quality of the vehicle without the harsh aggressive spring ride. I also installed a set of Rough Country 9000 series nitrogen charged shocks. Picked up a set of 18X10 Weld Wheels from Craigslist and called in a favor to wrap that 18's with the new NITTO highway terrain tires 325x60x18. These have to be the best tires I have purchased. For as big of a tire that it is(33.4) it rides like the best Michellins. There is no road noise normally accustom to this type of tire and the truck rides very well. I swapped out the cloudy head lamps (not pictured) for a set of factory 2003 clear lens lamps that really sharpened up the front end and increased the visability.

I like it, looks good. Not too high and not too low, and the wheel/tire combo fits the wheel well nice. I like the color combo too.
