Give us a quick call at 636-429-7020 or message us to schedule a visit — we’ll make sure the parts are ready when you arrive.

How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?

Unsure if it’ll fit? No problem — that’s what we’re here for. Send us your vehicle’s year, make, and model, and we’ll verify fitment before you order. We can also point you toward compatible upgrades or supporting parts if needed.

What if I need to return a product or it’s defective?

Most unused items can be returned within 30 days in their original packaging. Some products are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty as well. If something arrives damaged or doesn’t meet your expectations, just let us know — we’ll help you get it replaced, refunded, or repaired. (Tracking updates are also emailed automatically once your order ships.)

What's the lead time on custom or fabricated parts?

Many of our parts are built to order — especially fabricated or performance components. These can take additional time to produce before shipping. Lead times vary by manufacturer and demand, but we’ll always keep you updated along the way. If you’re working on a tight schedule, reach out before ordering at 636-429-7020 and we’ll confirm current availability or estimated ship dates.

Description

In a market filled with Coilover Conversions, we stuck to the bones of this proven platform. The attention to detail is top notch and proves you can achieve top-tier performance without scavenging junk yards for steering and axles. Our goal was to build a comprehensive bolt-on system for customers seeking a reasonable lift height with massive on- and off-road performance improvements to compliment the new stance. Too many lifts are sold incomplete, leaving customers to search for compatible parts — not here. Buy the system, install, and enjoy.

This system begins with a custom Carli/Deaver Leaf Spring Pack for the front and rear. The lighter-rate, Full Progressive Leaf Springs lift the front 4.5” while the rear is lifted 2.25” by our block-eliminating spring pack. To correct geometry, a Fabricated Track Bar Drop Bracket and Pitman Arm are provided, ensuring the drag link and track bar cycle at the same ratio to eliminate bump steer. Extended Sway Bar End Links recenter the sway bar, while Extended Stainless Brake Lines firm braking and allow for added down-stroke travel.

To handle the Excursion’s size and high center of gravity, we enlisted King Shocks. The system includes 9” Travel, 2.5” Diameter Piggyback shocks up front and 12” Stroke shocks in the rear with custom reservoir routing. The only weld-in part is a double-shear rear shock mount, replacing the weak factory “T-Bar” for strength. Fabricated Bump Stop Drops ensure the springs and shocks cycle together. King shocks are finished with machined 17-4 Stainless shafts, King oil rated to -55°F, and plated steel bodies (3M wrap recommended for corrosion resistance).

Valving was finely tuned using a custom piston for the perfect on/off-road compromise. On the road, this is one of the best-riding kits we’ve developed. Body roll is reduced, corners are smooth, wheel hop and axle wrap are eliminated, and traction is maximized. Off-road, dirt roads and rutted trails can be handled at speed with ease and composure. This system is not designed for whoop pounding or big jumps but excels at light to medium off-road use.

The rear springs reduce payload to a “light” ¾-ton. If capacity is a concern, add our Excursion-specific Long-Travel Airbags to restore load rating.
