They are Methods. I can go look up the part number if you like, but I did a decent bit of research to figure out what backspacing/ offset to order to fit the leaf spring Excursion. I guess I picked right because they fit great.

Isn't that exactly what the magic voodoo chemical in the kit is? It says "Extreme UV Protection Prevents Lens Yellowing" on the package.

Actually, yesterday I finished installing Banks Headers and Exhaust system. No need for a right up I just followed WE3ZS post. It did throw a lean code once when I stepped on it, but I did some re tightening of the flanges at the collectors and it hasn't come back.

Welcome to the fun. That seems to be a common name for these. My kids named ours also and even got a sticker for it from somewhere.

Man that looks sharp! You'll have to start a thread and keep us posted as it progresses.

Motors came in a couple weeks ago, I was gone the whole week of Thanksgiving, so made time to install these today.

Your truck looks great and gives me hope that gold wheels do look good on a gold excursion. If you don't mind sharing the part #, I'd be curious what wheel size/offset you went with, and the tire size too. Thanks!

Here's a pic of the side of the box with the part number and specs. Tires are 35 x 12.50 Toyo open country MT in load range F. The fitment is really good, no rubbing at all in parking lot style maneuvers lock to lock, I did trim a little off the bottom of the plastic inner fender because if you hit a hard bump with the steering turned sharp it would get a little rub on the plastic.

I forget...are you running spacers with these?
