01 Excursion parts?

I had a BDS 4" suspension lift kit put on last week, and now I have all these original parts. What should one do with them? Are they worth any more than the metal they are made of? Do people have need for used leaf springs?

I'd throw them up on Craigslist and see what happens. Maybe some rebuilder might be interested in them. I'd venture to guess that anyone here needing to replace springs would probably go with the V swap though.

If you lived closer Sheila, I'd take the rear springs off of your hands just on the off-chance I might wanna do modded B codes in the future.

You should post pictures of your Excursion! Especially now that it's lifted!

That is one sweet Ex!

I didn't think about the modded B's- maybe you could put them in the parts for sale section.

What kind of hood is that? Cervini's? It looks nice!

Your Ex is the same color as my wife's.

Is it a steel hood? It kinda looks like the one in the latest LMC catalog.

Just the stock 16's now. I want to get the KMC XD Revolver in chrome 18's or 20's, still haven't decided which. But FIRST I have to get my truck towed to town and the belt replaced because the f'ing belt just broke. ARGH.

I should have noticed the stock wheels.

Stock size tires?

They sure don't look small considering a 4" lift.

They are like 185/75/16 does that sound right?

Now, belts can just break can't they? It doesn't mean one of those pulleys is locked down does it? How hard exactly is it to put a new belt on? Could one of your wives accomplish this on her own with no tools? lol
