Which ones will actually soften up the rear of the EX and Will either one give any lift ? I have a 3" DR hanger lift right now and I want to put in U codes and I want to know which rear springs I will need and also what shocks would be the right size.
Thanks guys

The latest talk is using F code rear springs from 06 and up F-250. They don't have the helper on the top so they will fit the Excursion. You may need an extra leaf to level your truck as they will only raise the rear 0.75 inches. There is good info at the other popular Ford diesel site.
"On the rear, I removed the bolt that attaches the spring shackle to the frame and removed the shackle from the old spring after I had removed the spring from the X. I took the old X spring pack apart so I could get the anti wrap leave and one of the 0.125 inch shims. I cut the anti wrap leaf so I could use it as a spacer on the F code pack alone with the shim. I reused the old X spring bolt in the F code spring pack since it is just a little longer. I got this from towrig who did this very thing to his F codes and it did indeed yield 1.5 inches of lift."
The F codes supposedly yield a better ride when unloaded. I would like to do this with the V's up front. |
