Whoops, that was a typo. Actually, it's 22210 - about 4".

 

well thats the same front spring i got and only have 26" is yours not a diesel? also were you able to use stock sway bar and panhard bar? also any problems with your brake lines? and what size tires you running?

 

Yes, it's a diesel.

I have an adjustable track bar (panhard rod), drop track bar bracket, and drop pitman arm. I had Moog sway bar end links which bolted up fine but the sway bar was far from level. I'm sure if you flip the frame-to-sway bar endlink mounts around, that would bring the sway bar closer to level. I ended up going with a set of Skyjacker extended sway bar endlinks.


No problems with the brake lines. I'm running 295/60/R20.

 

who makes your drop bar bracket and what number is it?

 

It's made by Fabtech. It has two mounting holes - one for a 4" lift and the other is for a 6". I believe Tuff Country (or maybe Rough Country?) has a similar bracket which can be had for a little cheaper. BTW, it's the same bracket Mississippi013 is using (post #117)

 

I don't think I seen a 2wd posted up so here it is.....

Would like to lift it 2 to 3 more inches.

The ride is a lot better not real truck like either. Kinda suprised me.

 

Ok, I'm a little late to the party even though I had a reminder or two...

I installed new Ford V codes and SRW C's, about 2 years ago and ~25000 miles. I have the stock Excursion block in the rear. Personally I feel the best way to measure a change in suspension is at the jounce bumpers, measuring anywhere else can get confounded by worn body mounts and the Eddie Bauer/Limited cladding will influence the fender lip measurements...

From the center of each wheel to the radius of the cladding, full tank....

LF 24"
RF 24-1/8"
LR 25-3/8'
RR 25-1/4"

Thank you.

 

Good points Rob, except most EXs seem to have eaten their front jounce bumpers, at least partially.

 

True, however, the manual tells you to measure metal to metal.

 

I have the limited molding and I made sure to measure to the Metal fender lip. I hope i didn't throw the measurement gods a screw. I guess my measurements may be off a little now

 

There's a manual for this..............?
