lifts or leveling kits

was wondering what works best, or how to get our excursion leveled up front. according to everyone i have called they don't make a leveling kit for excursions, other than a 3 to 4 in. i was just after 1.5 to level front with back and then run 33 in tires. i don't mind going up to 3 to 4 inch and running 35s as long as they fill wheel well and preferrable don't rub. how does the excursions handle with a 4 inch lift, i know my bronco is way top heavy, but it has coil springs and they never have handled like pickups with leaf springs. i have had f250s with 4 in lifts and they handle fine. just know excursion is top heavy. thanks for input.

RCD makes a 2.5" leveling kit. I ran it with 33's and never experienced any rub...and I off-road mine.
Like someone on this board said before, it is a pain to install because you have to remove the springs, but it works.
Here's a link...it's at the bottom right of the page.

Good luck!

I too am planning to get some better springing in mine. I was thinking of going to the 350 springs front and back but this little adder idea is kind of cool. Is there any load carrying difference? I see the factory spring rates stay the same. Do you think it would work with a combination of air bags back and that kit up front?
Sorry for all of the Q's...
