Killer vid! Very helpful for me since I have an F350…. Especially appreciate the honesty about making the return mistake with Amazon, got a laugh outta it. Thanks for An actual honest made vid on YT, they are too few and far between these days.
Great vids super appreciate it. I have Helwig sway bars front and back to eliminate the sway.. I used a socket and the vice to press out the shock mount. Thanks again.
So for the front would you need to add a different leaf spring or add a taller block to make it full 4” lift up front?? Did just adding the bilstein upfront add height??
Hi! Nice video... I have a Ford F-250 2001 and I'm thinking of doing this upgrade because It bounces a lot on dirt roads. Do you think I will solve this problem buying this?
www.sdtrucksprings.com/ford-excursion-leaf-spring-swap-with-f250-springs 43-1261 Rear 43-818 Front As for Shocks I went with Bilstein 5100 - off amazon - just make sure to get the ones for the amount of lift you have - springs above will lift it 1.5/2 inches, be careful of the front shocks - if you use a block do not include that in your lift height (front only)
So question about the F250 Leaf springs....I've been researching this for awhile trying to figure out what I wanna do. You have F250 "X" code leaf springs AND a 2" lift block correct? So if you did not have the lift block, this springs would basically level the truck correct?
Been running the dual front 5100s for 8 years love them
Dude, love the gangsta vibe on the intro music! The new shocks look great in there. Hope it accomplishes what you were looking for.

Thanks !! Love the support - just need to keep thinking of projects to the keep the video's coming!
I’m running dual shocks and dual stabilizers up front on my Excursion as well. BDS 6 inch lift all Fox 2.0’s! Love the ride.
Good choice! - I have the stabilizers in my garage just need to get around to installing them!
Just curious, what's the difference between the x codes?
Great vids super appreciate it.

Dude your videos are really good quality and well put together
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching! I need to order a bumper soon to keep the build going now :)
@@TheExcursioners that’s where things start to get dumb expensive lol
@@worldofairsoft Seriously bought the Truck for $6K....bumpers are $4K haha.
@@TheExcursioners I know 😂😂 I got mine for $6400 so I feel the pain but soooo worth it
Love the Hobie Cat in the garage, come sailing sometime in Rocky Point MX, not too far and you can land on the sand :)
Haha not to far away!! Any good places to Camp?
bro, i found out about the dual shock from this vid. I went and did dual front coilovers. :)
thanks for the great videos! Waiting on my icon leafs and shocks will share how it goes.
Sounds great! good luck with the install, did you go with a lift?

iv ordered the dual shock mounts as well
Awesome such a nice upgrade and so simple to do.
Any link to the dual shock mounts?

That replacement grill is sweet have a link for it?
I just ordered on Ebay - google Ford Raptor Excursion Grill - I heard they are sold out but haven't checked.
Where do I get that can’t find it anywhere
How is the ride?
Love it so far - a bit rougher on the road but shines on the trail.
@@TheExcursioners nice man I think I might pull the trigger thank you 👍
Are your rear leafs stock height?
Do you have a link for those twin shock mounts? Thanks
Here you go!

@@TheExcursioners Thanks! You mentioned that the front struts were too tall, how about the rears?
@@garrettscott4094 Rear was ok because the shocks mount to the axle and so the 2 inch block where include in the total - unlike the front.
1:35 triggers Siri. Haha
Can you link the front and rear shocks you went with? love this setup! Picking up an excursion in about 2 weeks looking to do a similar build.

are you using the factory roof cross bar? where you purchase the rooftop cargo carrier luggage?
Factory Roof Bars - with a front runner rack - thats a roof top tent (Ikamper)!
Do you have an update on how you like the shocks?
Hey Walking Positive - so far love them, really helped with the ride quality and off-road sway.
Little confused see u got a new bracket for the top for a dual but what about the bottom of the shock? U didn't show how they installed
The bottom is just a longer bolt - The kit (top bracket) comes with a longer bolt for the bottom.
Did you drop the air bags off the rear with this?
Kept the bags - still use them when fully loaded but instead of 60 PSI (with the old springs) I keep them at 20 PSI now.
Nice vid👍. But work on some of the lighting wen showing smthng inside the wheel-wells for example. Kinda hard to see wut'ur pointing to.
Thanks - will do in the coming videos!
So question about the F250 Leaf springs....I've been researching this for awhile trying to figure out what I wanna do. You have F250 "X" code leaf springs AND a 2" lift block correct? So if you did not have the lift block, this springs would basically level the truck correct?
Its about a 3.5 - 4" lift right now so I think without the blocks and only the x codes it would be about 1.5 inches.
What level lift you running
F250 X-Code leaf springs (around a 2" inch lift) with 2" blocks - so around 4" to 4.5" total!
