Excursion Coil-over conversion
Anyone try one of these kits before?

The folks that have put them on super-duty pickups seem to be impressed, just wondering if anyone has put one on an ex.

I think you should order and install and ket us know how it is.
Honestly are you setting your Ex up for desert running? Other options include Carli suspension and One Up Offroad. The 05+ axles can be converted as well for a coil spring conversion too. Some other members have started the process and from what I have seen on here its almost a bolt on deal.

I only have 'vague' plans for my ex at this point, and the coil over kit is probably not in them unless I get a bunch of money from the rich uncle I don't know that I have.
I'd like to improve the off-road ability of our Ex without impacting the on-road manners too much, it is a DD and we will use it for off-roading and back-country camping. I've seen the 05+ stuff but I'm not sure how much those parts would cost me, the benefits of the 05+ swap would be the stronger 60 front axle and also the improved turning radius, which this kit wouldn't provide. My big two short term goals are bigger tires (with as little lift as possible) and a front locker, past experience says I can get most everywhere I want to be with just those two things.

The ex will take us on many adventures with the family. Isn't that what it's all about?

I think my ex rides pretty well already (for a truck) but I'd love the tighter turning radius and the true dana 60 front axle. The D60 has better locker options, and the better turning radius would be just as beneficial on the trail as it would be at the mall.
The kelderman kit is cool - and its actually cheaper. I like the idea of adjustable ride hight, makes it easier for loading and unloading. Wonder how strong the air bags are?

I think the point is there are FAR cheaper alternatives that offer the same results. $4500 that only converts the front end to coils is a waste of time and money. It'll still ride like a truck, you can change the sprint and suspension but in the end you're still running a solid front axle.

Full Traction is too proprietary for me. 05+ SD axle swap, I have more suspension choices.
