Front end leveling modification - Front end leveling kit

How much effort is the to add a front end leveling kit on a 4 WD Excursion?

Which kit do some of you like?

Is there anything else required after leveling the front end?

Longer shocks?

Do a front end alignment?

Longer sway bars links, etc??

Anything?? Or anything else??

Leveling kit, or the better solution of new springs? What is your goal exactly?

The X sat level from the factory. Putting a "leveling kit" on I think will make it sit nose high and will now look like it sags really bad I feel you put any weight in or on the back!

I was looking at it today and it does look pretty darn level to me. Perhaps I should maybe leave well enough alone.

My goal was simply to level it with a 2 inch front leveling kit, but I'm not so sure is actually needs that 2 inch kit as it might look high?

Measure it. From the top of the wheel arch to the center of the axles and see what you get.
