this should get you started. basically, icon is the best but is expensive. all the others are good quality but aren't as comfortable.

Cool.. I know sometimes its best not to cut corners and apparently this is one of those times.. Any advice on what my limit is with that lift as far as tire size? I have been doing research on tires and most suggest 35's.. anyone got a preference on name brand that they have used for awhile and havent had balance or uneven wear ( outside of basic alignment issues)..

Most 4x4 owners opt for a 4 or 4.5 inch lift depending on what manufacturer you get it from. A 4 inch lift will easily allow for 35s and little to no awkwardness after.
If you're looking for a slight lift to allow for 33's, I'd go with the V,B, or F code spring swap. They're F250/350 spring that make the Excusion ride better, cure it's suspension issues, and give you a little lift at the same time.
Which would fit your tastes better?
