Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 22966KN 2.5" Lift Kit is a complete suspension upgrade built for the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 4WD. Designed to deliver additional ground clearance with a ride you can still trust, it combines front progressive-rate leaf packs with rear lift blocks and SX8000 shocks for a balanced, capable upgrade.
- Lift Height: 2.5 inches front / 2 inches rear, tuned to fit up to 33" x 12.5" tires.
- Front Progressive-Rate Leaf Packs: Added to the front springs to improve load handling and ride quality as you lift.
- Rear Lift Blocks: 5.5 inch rear blocks replace the factory blocks to level the stance.
- Track Bar Relocation Bracket: Maintains steering geometry and precise handling after the lift.
- Hardware Kit: Includes front and rear U-bolts and center pins for secure installation.
- Shocks Included: SX8000 shocks supplied to match the 2.5" lift and improve damping across terrain.
- Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty on all lift kits from Tuff Country.
- Compatibility: Fits 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 4WD with a gas engine.
- Notes: Extended shocks are recommended for proper installation.
Benefits: This lift kit delivers a practical, value-driven upgrade for Excursion owners who want more ground clearance and the ability to run larger tires without sacrificing ride quality. The front progressive-rate leaf design provides a smoother transition under load, while the rear blocks create a level stance that improves stability when carrying cargo or towing. The track bar relocation bracket helps maintain predictable steering, and the SX8000 shocks provide consistent damping for on-road comfort and off-road capability. With a long-standing reputation for strength and a lifetime warranty, Tuff Country backs this kit as a reliable, long-term upgrade for your truck.
