You're welcome. I don't know why nobody's switched over to a manual tranny. I'd prefer it too, but nobody ever talks about it, so I didn't give it much thought.
4X2 lift gate cylinders lift the gate a couple of inches higher. I think due to the higher ride height of the 4x4 model, the lift cylinders were shortened in an attempt to be able to lift the gate while the excursion is in a standard garage. Either that, or so that short house wives can still reach the gate on the 4x4 excursion. I'm 6'5" and none of my cars have ever been in any of my garages, so head clearance was a primary concern for me. Honestly I wish I could get that gate even higher, I still hit my head occasionally.
I see that you just joined recently...Welcome. There's a lot of helpful information and people here. I researched all of the modifications that I've done to my Excursion here, and I definately couldn't have done it without this website!
