Overview

This 10-inch lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 4WD trucks. The kit improves stance, performance, and capability while providing clearance for up to 38-inch tires. Up front, the kit includes Glide-Ride leaf springs, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar links, and bump stop brackets. In the rear, the kit uses replacement Glide-Ride full leaf spring packs and u-bolts. Precision-tuned shocks are included front and rear, with a choice of NX2 Nitro or FOX 2.0 Performance Series.

BDS engineered the Glide-Ride leaf springs into a multi-leaf progressive spring rate design using an exclusive triple-stage construction. This design provides a smooth ride under any load, reduces axle wrap, and maintains flexibility throughout the suspension cycle. A forged drop pitman arm paired with a heavy-duty track bar drop bracket keeps steering geometry in phase through suspension travel and recenters the front axle.
