About this kit

3-Inch N3 Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Rough Country 487.20 is a 3-inch lift kit for the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 4WD, built around the N3 kit box and a pair of 2.5in front leaf springs. It does not fit V8 gas engine models. Bolt-on installation is estimated at 4-6 hours, and a downloadable installation guide is available.

This 3-inch lift kit for the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 4WD covers XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited trims in four-wheel drive; V8 gas engine models are excluded. Front lift comes from two 2.5in leaf springs paired with a heavy-duty track bar to hold the axle centered, while the rear uses fabricated lift blocks with U-bolts and hardware. The front sits closer to level with the rear once installed, and ground clearance goes up. Rough Country lists a 4-6 hour install as a bolt-on job. Check the wheel and tire chart — several larger combinations call for trimming.
