Review on πŸ”₯ Firestone W217602251 Ride-Rite Kit - Enhanced Performance for Ford Excursion 4WD by Mikey Shook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ultra light frame crucial for towing

After purchasing my 6 ton toy dump truck, my tour needs help to handle the weight of the tongue. After switching to the newer f350 springs, I still had significant sag. I bought this kit and installed it in less than 2 hours. No problems but bought an extra pipe cutter because I didn't and I had to buy one later and redo the pipe because it wasn't airtight and lost pressure within a day or so. I bought a 2" lift block that replaced the factory block and kept the factory fender horn. This is the key to installing this particular kit that attaches to this horn. Be sure to tighten the fastener after a few days or add Loctite. Mine is weak after use. I set it up with inflation valves and used a portable compressor to fill before later hooking up an adapter to an onboard air compressor. Day or night it definitely made a difference by leveling the truck and maintaining a tolerable ride when hauling a heavy load.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Hard to tell
