Hey guys, I have a 2004 V10, and am looking for the highest quality lift kit available. I want to go off roading often, but it will still be a daily driver. what other upgrades do you guys suggest? what kind of rims should I run, and what kind of tires (I was thinking of toyo open countries).


Thanks in advance guys, i really appreciate it!

There is a 6" front coil over conversion lift kit available, I can't remember the maker though. Leaf springs aren't exactly the best for offroading and have little articulation and suspension travel.
Not sure on the quality of it though.

 

Here is the conversion
6" 4.0 Coilover w/ Rear Leaf Springs & Rear Performance Shocks - 2000-05 Ford Excursion 4WD

Here is a good leaf spring lift

Ford - 2000 - 2005 Excursion - Complete Suspension Systems - ICON Vehicle Dynamics

 

Alot of folks love the procomp set up also.

 

I have the Icon 5" kit because I wanted all springs, no blocks. Excellent high quality kit that left for nothing if you add the right options.

 

If you want superb quality (at an extreme price though) 4 link air suspension seems to have excellent reviews (kelderman is one brand)
Apparently 4 link suspensions are much more stable, absolutely no axle wrap, more travel, softer ride etc. But they are insanely expensive in comparison to others.

 

What did you end up going with? Did you settle on something yet?
