55437Audio Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hey i have a 2004 F350 and it tows like magic although i have been considering buying a 00-04 Excursion 4x4 but i want to be able to tow the same... I would like to do bags( so i can make it lower if i want ...) if there is such a thing that will be strong enough to pull around 12,000 pounds and id say 1,500 Tongue weight. I have also herd of people combining things like, putting sway bars, straight line bars and upgraded shocks to accomplish more lbs in towing. Last thing i would like to do a nice set of rims, what would be the point that a rim would be to big for towing.

Loudcav Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 well you have a few parts of the tow first your suspension has to be able to handle it so your looking at helper bags helper springs and then those rubber suspension enhancements like Timbren 2nd the hitch setup has to be strong enough from the ball mount and ball to the reciever its self you also have to worry about engine and trans if you cant move it without blowing something up or it overheating whats the point of the rest of the gear you just bought?

baggedon4s Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 kelderman (think thats how its spelled) is the only place I know of that has lower/lift bags for a excersion. But I tow a 24ft deck boat with 50 gallons of fuel, and 50 gallons of water on it..no problem with the bagged 3500 with re7's on it Quote 99 suburban, ranger rover headlights, SS front bumper,roll pan with frenched tag, 2nd row delete,glassed dash..audio to come whenever I figure out what I want.

loganberry Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 As far as towing engine wise you would have no problems on a stock 6.0 or even 7.3, if your gonna do engine mods on the 6.0 let me know I've built quite a few and know what works well Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudcav Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 looks like the Kelderman in only an inch or 2 drop till your stopped then its a 5 inch drop tho not sure how that would work for towing best bet is to leave it stock and just beef it up that or level it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
