Self-leveling rear suspension
When is Ford going to offer a self-leveling rear suspension (air-bags) for the Excursion like it offers on the Expedition and like GM does on the Suburban/Yukon XL? Does anyone know of any aftermarket systems?

Just read your thread and thought I could help. I bought some air springs made by Bridgestone and this helped me a great deal when hauling my travel trailer. The added benefit is that your truck sits nice and level when you lower the pressure down to 5#.(this is the lowest air pressure that you should have in them at all times. Warning.... it will make your rear end ride a little stouter than you are used to.

I think the best system (and most expensive) is Kelderman. It actually improves the ride, doesn't make it stiffer. Heres the link.

I also installed an airbag system and love it. The biggest problem I have is in Minnesota during the springtime with all the frostheave in the roads the airbags are always trying to add pressure as I go over large bumps. I got smart and put a switch on the hot wire. Otherwise thay work wonderful. See pics in my gallery of what they look like installed.
