p1200085.jpg The completed install! There's actually room for spring travel again.

[b]Conclusion[/b]
This project was painfully drawn-out as I struggled with seized bolts and identifying the most efficient way to disassemble and reassemble. Once finished and on the first test drive, I noticed an immediate difference in ride quality. There are no more jarring bumps and the Excursion handles much more smoothly on the rougher roads.

[b]Notes[/b]
* The stock U-Bolts are the correct length for V-Code springs.

* I reused my standard-height front shocks. With my sway bar attached, I don't anticipate over-extending these shocks and I also don't drive off-road to really flex the suspension anyway. If you drive off-road or on terrain where you will test the limits of your suspension, you should consider upgrading to taller shocks in the front.
