I have the Bilsteins and hellwig as well. Big difference but it's still knocking over everything.
Get those balljoints replaced guys. I just popped my truck up and mine are toast. Same goes with the springs which are apparently a wear item on the Excursion.

Springs and ball joints are lazy employees on your truck. They never want to work that long for you. Suicide it looks like you are going all out. Good luck with it . It will change the way your truck drives and rides. Also get driving that beast. She has no miles on her for a 2000. lol

I most certainly plan on adding to that mileage total I'm just glad the guy that owned it before me took such good care of her and left me with lots of miles to go!!!!! you guys all seem to have gone with the bilsteins are they a better recommendation than the ranchos? SPRINGS? I need new springs too??? which ones do you recommend
