I think sometimes we get a little carried away with using light duty bars to give the trailer a soft ride, and forget that the arms need to be able to transfer sufficient weight from the rear axle of the tow vehicle to the front axle, to provide adequate traction on the front wheels.
Knowing little about the spring rates and other characterisitics of the Excusrsion, I think you need to talk with an expert. The standard recommendation of light duty bars might apply to a 3/4 ton pickup with 2000 lbs of load carrying, but I doubt the Excursion has the same deadweight load carrying capacity.
