Need help identifying a leveling kit for my 2000 7.3 Excursion 2WD. Let me know what you guys have used please....
No real solution. Tons of 1.5-2 inch coil spring spacers on eBay and elsewhere. A few on FTE tried them and removed them. The twin I-beam doesn't much like them, lack of adequate caster/camber adjustment. The upper ball joint hits against the spindle, some grind down a bit of the spindle to make a bit more room.
The ball joint is now near it's limit and doesn't have much range left so wears out faster.
I installed new F350 2wd OEM coils which gave me 3/4 of an inch, now down to 1/2 but a more stable feel.
I also tried airlift 1000 airbags before and they helped keep front from sagging, but made the front bouncy..
I like the rear rake and when loaded it sits level.
I am not aware of any leveling kits.
Fabtech and possibly a few other make a 4" or 6" lift kit that will drop the radius bracket down so you can keep proper geometry.
Should be the same up front, not sure about the rear. 2wd EX doesn't have lift blocks, not sure about the F250. Search for an old thread by moderator Toreador Diesel.
Depending on how the rear gets lifted. New springs might interfere with rear A/C lines.
If it is just a big block, it will retain the soft 'soccer mom' rear springs and could have a lot of axle wrap.
The front should be no problem.

Apologies for not mentioning, my EX is a 7.3. I'm hoping it will be a direct fit because the guy is letting this lift go for a great price.
