Anybody have a lift kit laying around?

Posting up to see if anybody has a lift kit laying around or on their rig that they want to get rid of. I know this isn't the market place but I feel like nobody looks at the wanted ads so i just wanted to get some attention. I'm in need because my factory springs are riding horribly. If anybody has one or any leads please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at an X with a ridiculous lift on it (haven't seen it in person, it's about 4' off the ground) the lift is powdercoat blue and I'm hoping to buy it and drop it down to a daily driver height.. got some crazy TSLs on it too. I'd be willing to sell the lift if I end up getting it. I'm over by Summit Racing in tallmadge.

It's listed on craigslist - it's at Rick Roush honda and they misquoted me by $10k when I contacted them..... I won't be buying it for their $14995 so sorry to get your hopes up. (the good news is they only wasted 2 hours of my life).

I have a Fabtech 6" lift kit that was on my 05 Excursion, however it was for a V10.
It's just taking up space in my shop now.

Is there a reason you took it off? Did you go bigger, did you sell it, was 6" a decent stable well handling X or did it compromise too much?

I took it of because my wife broke her ankle and access in and out of the vehicle was easier at stock height.

I liked it while it was lifted, we just never put it back on.

Have you sold the lift kit yet. My front springs are about junk. Darn 7.3 weighs a lot. Lol. I thought about having my buddy at the junk yard find me some f250 springs. I want more lift to clear my 285s. But I would love to go all out with some 38's with 6-7" of lift.

BluePitt,
I've committed to selling it to 04FiveFour at this time; he had PM'd me about it early in the string.

As I read on the FabTech Motorsports webpage, the Ex's equipped with a 7.3 do use a different kit, I'm sure mostly due to spring rates, that 7.3 is a big heavy engine.
