Is it a 4x4, 7.3?

Bets thing you could do for it if its a 4x4 is swap springs to V codes with B's rear..with my mod. Correct Bilsteins, 30mm rear sway bar and a dual steering stablizer. Ive helped countless do these mods.

TS chip with TW tunes, 6.0 Tq converter, 6.0 trans cooler.
WW and a Boost fooler.
Exhaust be careful as Excursion are prone to drone
Tymar intake best.

PM me if I can help with the Excursions mods..make you a good package deal. Your Friend will not belive the difference!
