Save yourself a lot of grief. You probably don't have a wrench big enough to loosen it or to torque the bolt back on (I think it is 420 lb-ft).
Just take it to a front end or tire shop. They will install for about $75 to $100.
That is the only part on my Excursion suspension that I paid someone else to install after many attempts. You would need a very big air impact.

its a 30mm deep I got it at orielly auto parts for 14.00, most big box stores will carry them. Just get a big breaker bar and get as tight at you can. Mine came off my truck after 300,000 miles with nothing more than a 3/4 drive impact gun. IMHO just get it tight and make a note of it next time its in for an alignment or something else. I don't think its that critical. Mine has been fine for 10,000 miles.

They are all the same between F series and Excursions. I did an F350 FX4 with a 30 mm bolt (head) and my ex was the same. IIRC the instructions said to torque it to 250 lbs until a shop can tighten it all the way. It wont hurt driving on it but I would not ignore it, I have more of a burtal approach when working on things like that, long breaker bars and lots of brute force usually work for me. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then have a shop do it.
