Or all the Houstonians could just roll up and have an Excursion takeover at a dining establishment.

I'll follow up with our friend Julian and see when his truck should be done. Then we'll go from there, because we all know we want to see his truck in person.

Looking good, although the fact that the axle is seemingly left hanging at full droop makes me cringe... It's not the best thing in the world, especially since from what I can tell the shocks and trackbar are what's limiting the travel. At least get a pair of small jackstands underneath the axle tubes

The box/pitman arm changed in 05 on the trucks. The Ex still has the older style to go with the leaf springs.
The 08+ has a new frame so I'm assuming another new box too. Probably be easier to find an 05-07 one as it bolts right in.
