Thank you Mabcim
Interesting and relevant to the info I'm looking for. I'll have to see if he can give me the part number for the springs and whether it was a direct fit or did he have to modify or get different spring perches, etc.

Hi Aldaman014
Would you happen to still have the part number for the Escape rear springs?
Did you have to modify or get different rear spring perches? Or were the springs pretty much a direct fit?
BTW, Your truck looks great.
Thanks
I kind of figured nobody has probably tried this. Most want their truck lifted or lowered, not softened up.
I did try putting a seat cushion my wife bought me but I lost too much head room.
And you are probably correct that with a lower spring rate in the back it may get squirrely. I do see...
I am wondering if anyone has done this?
I really like my 2024 Mav Lariat AWD, but the ride seems so harsh on my bad back, primarily when the rear wheels hit a bump. I've already switched to 17" wheel for more tire side wall, I'm running only 32 PSI in the rear tires, I tried weight in the...
Only 5,000 miles on the OEM wheels, like new, no Curb rash. Includes lug nuts, center cap,
and valve stem (NO TPMS SENSORS).
Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3, 225/60R18, only 3,000 miles on them, like new, great all-season
traction and handling, quiet (Tire Rack rates them as best in category)
$800...
I am looking for a little more side wall for a softer ride. Will 30" diameter tires (ie, 235/70R17) fit ? This is for my 2024 Lariat AWD with the tow package and OEM suspension. OEM diameter is around 28.7" so if figure this would give me about 0.6" more side wall.
Thanks

What I have always done with all my vehicles over the years, and have always gotten 140K miles or more out of my engines with no problems, is baby it for the first 1,200 miles or so, easy on the acceleration, don't go over 65 mph, vary the speed (during this time - RPMs), no towing of course...
Hi Jalopy Technology
I really like my 2024 AWD Lariat with the 4K tow, but I also feel as though the ride is fairly harsh ( I posted about this on another thread with info on OEM spring and shock parts numbers).
Anyhow, if you find an alternative rear shock set-up that gives a better ride...
I also just looked at the OEM parts list and it looks like they only have two different sets of springs, PZ6Z-5560-B (left) and PZ6Z-5560-A (right) for the 4wd Tremor which gives a 1 inch rise in ride ht and then all other trims get NZ6Z-5560-L (left) and NZ6Z-5560-J (right). Since my Lariat AWD...
I just went out in the garage to see if the parts tags are still on the springs and they are, but I had the truck undercoated a couple of months ago and unfortunately there is just enough overspray on the tags that I can't read them.
But even if the springs are not stiffer, lighter valved...
I know this is kind of an old post but I thought I'd resurrect it to see if anyone has since been able to answer the question. I am interested because last May I purchased a new Lariat AWD with 4K tow pk and I really like the truck but I feel as though the ride is somewhat harsh and kind of...
