1999-2002 Ford Excursion 2WD (3 Inch Front / 3 Inch Rear) Complete Lowering Kit

Precision Engineered Tubular Beams with Hanger & Shackle Rear Drop

Lowering a 1999–2002 Ford Excursion 2WD is not like lowering a pickup. The Excursion’s massive size, weight, and front suspension geometry demand a precise approach—anything less leads to alignment nightmares, uneven tire wear, and unsafe handling. That is exactly why this 3 Inch Front / 3 Inch Rear Complete Lowering Kit is engineered around custom tubular lowering beams instead of springs.

If you’ve ever tried cutting, heating, or swapping springs on an Excursion, you already know the result: uncontrollable camber, limited alignment adjustment, poor ride quality, and a truck that never quite feels “right.” This kit eliminates those issues entirely by addressing the suspension geometry at its source.

Vehicle Fitment

Compatible Vehicles

Always verify your vehicle is 2WD before ordering.

Why Lowering an Excursion with Springs Doesn’t Work

Many lowering kits rely on modified or “lowering” coil springs. That approach might work on lighter vehicles—but on an Excursion, it creates serious problems:

• Excessive negative camber

• Limited or impossible alignment correction

• Rapid inner tire wear

• Harsh ride quality

• Reduced steering stability

• Suspension bind under load

The Excursion’s Twin I-Beam front suspension is extremely sensitive to ride height changes. Lowering springs alter beam angles in a way that factory alignment points simply cannot correct. Even so-called “lowering springs” introduce geometry issues that cannot be fixed with cam bolts alone.

That’s why this kit uses precision tubular lowering beams—the only correct way to lower a 1999–2002 Ford Excursion 2WD.

Exclusive Tubular Lowering Beams – The Right Way to Drop an Excursion

The heart of this kit is our exclusive tubular front lowering beams, designed specifically for the 1999–2002 Ford Excursion 2WD platform.

Key Design Features

• Thick-wall DOM steel tubing

• Nested and reinforced construction

• Precision welded in dedicated fixtures

• Maintains factory suspension geometry

• Full alignment adjustment retained

• Uses factory coil springs

Instead of forcing the suspension into an incorrect angle, these beams reposition the spindle mounting points to achieve a true 3-inch drop while keeping proper camber and caster relationships intact.

The result is:

• A true 3-inch front drop

• Factory-like steering feel

• Predictable handling

• Long tire life

• A suspension that aligns correctly and stays aligned

Keep Factory Coils – Improve Ride Quality

One of the biggest advantages of this kit is that it retains the factory front coil springs.

Why that matters:

• Factory coils are properly rated for the Excursion’s weight

• Ride quality remains smooth and controlled

• No harsh spring rates or bottoming out

• Maintains correct suspension travel

Lowering through beam geometry—not spring rate—means you get a lowered stance without sacrificing comfort or drivability.

Rear 3-Inch Drop with Hanger & Shackle Kit

Lowering the rear of a Ford Excursion properly is just as important as the front. This kit includes a rear hanger and shackle system designed to achieve a true 3-inch rear drop while maintaining correct driveline angles.

How the Rear System Works

• Moves the leaf spring mounting points up on the frame

• Maintains proper suspension arc

• Preserves ride quality

• Avoids axle wrap and pinion issues

• Keeps the rear suspension balanced with the front drop

Unlike axle flip kits or lowering blocks that can introduce driveline vibration and wheel hop, this hanger/shackle setup provides a clean, stable, and reliable drop.

Included Shocks for Correct Travel

Proper shock length is critical on a lowered Excursion. This kit includes matched shocks to ensure correct suspension travel and ride quality at the new ride height.

Shock Specifications

• Front Shocks: 1415 (Qty 2)

• Rear Shocks: 2100 (Qty 2)

These shocks are selected specifically to work with the lowered suspension geometry, preventing bottoming out while maintaining proper rebound and damping.

What’s Included in the Kit

This is a complete 3/3 lowering solution, not a pieced-together setup.

Kit Contents

• Custom tubular front lowering beams (pair)

• Rear hanger and shackle lowering system

• Front shocks (1415 x2)

• Rear shocks (2100 x2)

• Necessary mounting hardware

• Installation-ready components

Everything is designed to work together as a system—no guessing, no mismatched parts.

Real-World Driving Benefits

Lowering an Excursion isn’t just about looks—it’s about control, stability, and confidence behind the wheel.

What You’ll Notice Immediately

• Lower center of gravity

• Improved road feel

• Reduced body roll

• Better highway stability

• Easier entry and exit

• Aggressive, street-ready stance

Whether you’re cruising long highway miles, towing lightly, or using your Excursion as a daily driver, this kit delivers a balanced and refined driving experience.

Designed for Street Performance and Daily Driving

This lowering kit is ideal for:

• Street-driven Excursions

• Custom show builds

• Daily drivers

• Highway cruisers

• Light towing setups (within factory limits)

It is not intended for off-road use or heavy articulation environments. This is a street-performance suspension system engineered for precision and comfort.

Installation Overview

This kit is designed for professional or experienced DIY installation.

Installation Notes

• Factory front beams are removed and replaced with tubular beams

• Factory coils are reused

• Rear leaf spring hangers and shackles are relocated

• Shocks are replaced with included units

• Alignment is required after installation

Estimated Install Time

• Professional installer: 6–8 hours

• Experienced DIY: Weekend project

A professional alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure optimal tire wear and handling.

Why This Is the Best 3/3 Lowering Kit for the Ford Excursion

There are cheaper ways to lower an Excursion—but there are no better ways.

This kit stands apart because:

• It addresses suspension geometry correctly

• It preserves factory ride quality

• It allows full alignment correction

• It eliminates common lowering problems

• It’s engineered specifically for the Excursion’s weight and design

Cut springs and shortcut kits cost less upfront—but they cost far more in tires, alignments, and frustration. This system is built to do it once and do it right.

Summary

If you want to lower your 1999–2002 Ford Excursion 2WD correctly—with no alignment issues, no harsh ride, and no shortcuts—this 3 Inch Front / 3 Inch Rear Lowering Kit is the solution.

Built around exclusive tubular lowering beams, matched shocks, and a precision rear hanger/shackle system, this kit delivers the stance, ride, and reliability Excursion owners demand.

Lower smarter. Drive better. And finally enjoy your Excursion at the right height.
