Wow. What size are your tires Steve?

 

Click on the "Big Blue" link under my sig picture for the whole story.

 

My goodness, with 4 live computer screens facing you across the dashboard (5 if the inside rearview mirror also has a built in LCD screen)... who has time to look out of the windshield? That thing is beyond thunderdome.

35's. Big. But not bolt breaking big.

 

Brown truck just dropped off this package.

 

And there's still a to-do list...

 

Ha! I'd give you reps for that quick quip of a response, but with 110K posts, you probably don't need any. And I don't want to encourage you. There is a road out there to look at too. At least once in a while.

 

If memory serves me, when I did those the front bolt needed a shorter one than the factory size, I had to get them from my local speed shop.

 

Lol...they dropped the exact same package off to me too.

 

I'm taking it to the shop to do the switch along with a full flush. I will let them know of this difference in bolt sizes.

 

Nice! Who had the best price on those? I see them from 83.60 - 100.99. Some parts places say they won't fit our 4x4 Ex lol

 

So long as you order the #696490 item you should be good, as I mentioned above I think the front bolt needed to be a shorter one than the one that's on there. I bought mine a couple of years ago and Amazon Prime is almost $135 for the set.

Right off Russell's web site, even though the years are off. 99-06Excursion 4WD with 4"-5.5" lift (C) Disc Disc 5 696490

started it up, it has sat for 7 weeks. Removed the snow off hood so I could hook up jumper cables for a few minutes from our F350. Voltage was 10.0 so I let the batteries charge a bit. Cycled glowplugs twice, Fired right up! Let it idle for 15 mins and shut her down.

Organizing the barn to pull the Excursion and F250 in to begin suspension swap...
but so much to do around the homestead..

 

I saw those prices too. And also found that the search usually brings out the lowest price, but may not be for the correct product. As probably found, clicking on the $83 product link will take you to another site that will then specify this is for a different truck.

Most every place, I found them to be selling at ~$160+. I ordered these from Amazon for $136.42. It was not in Amazon prime, but I got them in 2 days with free shipping.
