Excursion V & B code spring and other parts needed ?

where can I find the part numbers, brand specs, for the following on the Excursion V and B code mod:
I am making a list and will publish when I have all the details.

- 2" hanger for the V code ( brand and specs, part number ?)
- F350 rear block for the mod B code : this correct ? F81Z-5598-GA " 4" F350 block ?
- Front U bolt for V code : F81Z-5705-ZA ?
- Rear U bolt for mod B code so fits with extra 2 leafs ?: F81Z-5705-EA ?
- Rear B code 3C3Z-5560-CB or is it the 3C3Z-5560-CA with overload spring and extra block, will that give more room for the Ex springs you add ???
- Track Bar to ensure front V codes and adjust to center ( brand, part number, specs ?) ?

Looks real sharp! These springs make it handle like a whole new rig.

Negative. That may induce a nose high situation again, sits with a nice rake not using those hangers.
Would probably be close to level with those if that’s what you’re after.

So what did you swap on it ? V, Mod B, is that it ? no 2" hanger, no f350 block ? I am trying to figure it out. what size wheels/tires is your ride now ? would 33" tires clear ?

I ended up with X/modB and 4” Tapered F350 blocks in the rear. Stock hangers. Running 285/75/16 tires, yes 33s would fit with ease.

Talk to Junior at ATS, he will get you set up. I would avoid used springs, new ones are only 90$ each, not worth saving 200$ and having old stuff to me..

used springs can be gold or junk, if you have the time you can build a high quality leaf pack.

A used Ford oem spring that is not sagged is gold, i will even say it will be better then a brand new aftermarket spring.

a sagged spring is a time waster as you will need to go out and find another one that isnt sagged.
