A little taller than expected. Thought I'd post this for others considering a lift, yes the oem rims work fine. More pics this afternoon with the new wheels & tires.

 

Looks good!

What size tire is on it now?

 

265/75/r16 Michelin ltx2's

 

Its probably taller because a 4" lift on an excursion lifts it 6" from stock.

The lifts are designed for SuperDutys but the excursion sits 2" lower from the factory.

BDS's kit is Excursion specific, so it was supposed to lift 4", not 6" like the f250-350 ones from other manufacturers. Or so I was told

 

Oh is it? I didnt know, but I dont have an Excursion I'll look into it.

 

Looks good. Now..painting the frame where you can see it will help it LOTS.

 

it seriously does, makes it look 10x better IMO

OP, what wheels and tires you putting on?

 

Looks good, when do we get to see the new rubber??

 

An hour or so need to do some actual work

What do you guys recommend for frame painting? Naval Jelly, brass brush? Primer?

 

I always use a cheap gloss spray..it's not like we're doing a full on under coat,going cheap we can always hit it again..JMHO

 

The wife hates them, which means they're flipping' awesome. The ride is so smooth now it's kinda funny. I need to get them above 50/55 and see. But her biggest complaint about the truck has always been the bumpy ride, which no longer exists. Installer said the front leafs were VERY tired.

Going to dremel out the middle of the caps for the front so I can get at my hubs. Also want to black out the "XD" on the hub covers...

 

I do wire brush or steel wool- Then hit it with mineral spirits to get all the grease off. Spray with your favorite enamel. Holds up pretty good. Truck looks real good up higher by the way!

 

Nice, xd monsters are high up on my list of favourite rims
