This must be my night for Oregon owners.

The X came equipped from the factory with shorter springs than the trucks, it was designed to fit in a normal garage. Many here have added truck springs for an easy lift.

So the X starts out shorter and has to be lifted higher to keep up with the trucks, got it?

Excursions sit 2" lower than it's F250/F350 brothers. Ford did this to make it easier for the soccer moms to get their kids in and out of it, lol. Look at the part # for a 6" excursion kit and it's the same as a 4" F250/F350 kit.
