How Tall is The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFREXC4 For a 2000 Ford Excursion?

Question

Question:

I have a 2000 Excursion and would like to get #TFREXC4 for the rear. My concern is that the vehicle has been lifted by a previous owner 3-4. I Measured the distance from the bump stop mounting point to the bar that they end up contacting and it is 5.5. Would these work on my application? Could you measure the Timbrens when assembled if possible? Thank you for your time!

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFREXC4 is 5-1/16" tall. It sounds like they used lift blocks placed underneath the jounce spring pad and your current springs are sagging. If you were to install these with your current air gap of only 7/16" it would create a very harsh ride experience. So if you choose to go with these you will want to replace your current leaf springs to get the air gap closer to the recommended 1" from Timbren so it will not give you as harsh of a ride.

Personally the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3621-HD would be a better option. This is adjustable which will allow you to better dial in your ride quality. As it mounts to your leaf spring only and not your frame requiring an air gap it will activate immediately which will better help with stability and body roll.

Because the stock ride height has changed, the #TFREXC4 Timbrens for the Excursion would be ineffective for the very reason you mentioned. They'd be too short, and the suspension would compress a great deal before the Timbrens would make contact…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
