New Shoes, RAS, Hellwig & Bilstein 4600's

Ended up going with a -12 offset and 33's.
I was running Platinum 20" take offs but they rubbed a little too much and were almost 2" inside the fender flares.
Also upgraded the rear bar to a Hellwig and added the RAS and Billstein 4600's.
All proved to be a great improvement in handling and I think the 1" smaller tire diameter will help when towing.
I cant wait to get it out and test it pulling a decent load.

Is your Ex lifted any? I'm sure that with a wider tire, it would increase the handling.

The RAS lifted the back about 1" other that that its stock.
The 275/60/20's are 1.34" taller and .4" wider. I was trying to stay close to factory width for all the snow we get.

It's from the Facebook page 'Ford Excursion Club', they've got a few different styles in the store.
