Suspension advise needed.

Currently, my 2003 Excursion has the stock suspension with roughly 90K miles on it. I'd like to raise the truck 2-3" or at least level it, as well as replace the shocks, steering stabilizer, and anything else that may be necessary. The truck is used for daily driving and occasional towing. What are my best options? Is there anything else that should be replaced along with the components I listed?

Might want to rebush the front end with poly bushings.

look into replacing your springs. I think it is the w or x codes that will get you that amount with the heavier psd front end. Use the search and you will find a LOT of reading about it, and even part #'s.
Bilstiens or the ranchos are the common ones to replace shocks with. Might want to look into a dual stabilizer set up if you want to go with wider tires later on.
