Hey, I know what you are doing is helping the problem, I just had to laugh about the Corvette/Benz comparison.

I've had two Excursions, a 2002 7.3 and a 2005 6.0. The 2002 handled about as bad as it can get, possibly worse. The porpising could be called dangerous. The 2005 was slightly better, but still couldn't be called even normal. I liked a lot of things about the Excursions (I sure wouldn't have spent 90K on them for nothing) but handling was not one of them. I tried blistiens and larger stabalizers on the '02, by '05 I wouldn't waste the money other then to replace the worthless
shocks they came with, why did they go cheap there?

I also own an'86 Feiro GT, '02 Mustang GT and an '07 BMW X5 so I know what good handling feels like.

Let me first apologize for being smug..it was uncalled for.
It seems you have had some really crappy experience with the EX. I have probably missed several posts from you in the past and dont have a clue as to the extent of your experiences...I have to say that the difference for me has been in the springs..the shocks have helped and the sway bar of course...but the springs are where its at for me..
Yes absolutely I was off with the corvette / benz statement but I can tell you that it handles extremely well after the work I have done to it...If you look at the horizon and the hood as you corner and believe me i have pushed it hard...the hood stays flat in a hard curve...I know that the 13.5" wide wheels help that aspect tremendously as well.I also added the double shock steering stabilizer... When I hit a bump and even over bridges that used to cause crazy undulations in stock form...the springs dampen the bump and goes immediately flat again...its great and I love this truck!
Its a shame you had enough to get rid of yours..that sucks!
Hope that new beamer serves you well...
Peace
