Two Questions: Real Excursion Questions!!!

I keep it short i have searched and didnt find anything i was looking for but did look through every result.


1) Door Lock Actuator- What is the voltage going to the Actuator suppose to be?

2) 2000 V10 4x4 Stock height measure and the crest of the fender well? I am tring to find/figure out how much lift there is on my X.

I try to get some pictures of it 2marrow of the suspension so you can help me. I know the rear leaf springs have 8 leafs and it also has blocks under that. As far as the front it has shackles.

The locks are 12v and the actuator for the lights are a grounding system.

I don't remember the measurement of mine and just have handwritten records, but remember, the measurement is all dependent on the tires. I believe the 265's all vary a tiny bit between brands/models. I'm not sure how much this would affect a fender height though. But you definitely need someone with 265's and not 285's on a stock suspension.

I believe mine was 37 and change and very low 38" before I re-sprung it.

If you measure from the center of the wheel hub up to the fender, that will give you a more accurate lift calculation regardless of tire size.

Thanks.. I was figuring it might be 12 but wanted to double check before I put a DVOM on it.

FYI... My front springs were sagging when I measured last year.
