Question:
Hey guys I have a 2002 Ford excursion 4x4 with a 6” lift. I need an airbag kit with the spacers but I couldn’t find it anywhere and I’m not super tech savvy. Any help? Thanks

For your 2002 Ford Excursion I recommend going with Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57132 for the rear. If you happen to have a snow plow or some other heavy item on the front, then you can also get the front setup as well Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Front Axle # AL57154. You likely will only need the rear kit if you are just trying to reduce rear-end sag and improve handling when weight is added to the back.
If you have a true 6" lift, then Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL - 6" Lift - Qty 2 # AL52460 is what you need. However, it is a good idea to measure the exact height of your current lift kit to determine if it is an exact 6" or if the lift blocks are actually 4", in which case you would need Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL - 4" Lift - Qty 2 # AL52440.
Lastly, if you would like to adjust the air bags from the cab of your truck you can add a compressor such as Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System # AL25856. Without this compressor kit you would need to hook an air compressor to the air lines at the back of your vehicle every time you want to inflate or deflate the bags, so the compressor kit will definitely come in handy.
I attached a few demonstration videos that you can check out for more information on these parts.
