I want to keep my stock springs on my Excursion, mainly for the softer ride, but I want to lift it.

I was wondering what company has the best built front and rear spring hanger lift, and shackle lift combo? I do not want to just lift the Ex at the shackle, but at the front spring hanger also, so my springs will be lifted the same height at both ends.

I would like to have right about three inches of lift.

I have looked at a few companies, but still searching.

 

Myself and several local friends have drop hanger kits from Icon, of varying heights. Personally, I'm running a 2" in conjunction with V's. The brackets themselves seem to be well built and were hefty from what I remember. Just enough to be slightly awkward when mounting solo. Either way, they've held up over the past few years and this thing has had air beneath the tires on more than one occasion.

Be aware that you may need either an adjustable track bar or a relocation bracket even on a 3". That or be content with the springs being slightly tweaked and the axle not properly centered up front.

As for the rear, you're most likely looking at a taller block in place of the stock 2".

 

Another place to check out is PMF, they make some pretty nice stuff and their rear blocks are some of the nicer ones that I've seen.

 

The softer ride you desire is a function of the shocks not the springs.

Your springs simply support the weight of the Excursion/payload and determine the ride height. The reason for using a longer spring with more arch is to increase wheel travel which the Excursion sorely lacks.
