Guy said $700 and I think I want it... I want more lift than I currently have but this would be a total of 10 inches on an X right?


8 in rough country lift kit ('99-'04 F250 or F350)

This is the kit: http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index....YscaAsCh8P8HAQ

This is the kit: 1999-2004 Ford F250 / F350 4wd - 8 Suspension Lift Kit [488.20] | $1,295.95 | SD Truck Springs | Leaf Springs, Helper Springs and Suspension Parts
If I was going that high, that kit doesn't look like a bad way to get there (all spring). My problem with a lift that high is the size of tire you have to run to avoid leg day syndrome, and the gears you will want after that, and all the other expenses of going tall. All livable on a show or weekend toy, but not for me on a daily driver.

Yeah, Mecdac called and we talked for a bit about it and came to the same conclusion. I honestly only want like 2-4 inches more (doesn't every guy?) and I already have blocks and shackles sitting around here somewhere I never put on that will do the trick. That kind of lift would require such big tires to look right I would be priced out of it right off the bat.

At 10 inches that's a pretty low ledge

He is selling both his trailer and the Excursion. I don't see his excursion for sale in the general automotive section with details but here is the link.

2016 3006WK Rockwood Windjammer used once!

No price and all it says is the following:

The excursion is also for sale in the first picture. It is a 2000 with the 7.3 liter diesel with 130,000 miles
