Question:
Which spacers are required for a 2004 ford excursion with a 4 inch lift. Is there a difference between the f2371 and f2370 spacers? The ride rite kit I have is the 2251? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The 2 Firestone spacer kits that you mentioned, # F2371 and # F2370, each fit different types of Firestone Ride-Rite kits. First, style # F2371 fits on Ride-Rite models that mount to the vehicle axle. The other one, # F2370, fits on models that mount to the leaf spring stack.
The kit that you have, # F2251, is an axle mounted kit so you would need spacers # F2371.
The spacer kit used needs to be same as the amount of lift on the vehicle. So if the ride height increased by 4 inches you would use a 4 inch kit. Sometimes a lift kit might be a 4 inch lift but the space between the frame and the axle doesn't increase as much. The spacers fit on vehicles with 9.5" to 10.5" inches of space between the top and bottom Ride-Rite brackets.
