---In your opinions do you tihnk I need to mess with the combo anymore to make the Excursion level?---"Level" means different things to different people. By, "stock level", do you mean the stance of the TV with no occupants or cargo and no TT attached?
If so, IMO, a better reference for the before and after measurements is to use the stance of the TV when it is loaded for camping -- including the weight of the WDH.
Then, I believe Ford says that the WDH should be adjusted so the front of the TV is returned to within 1/2" of the unitched height.
If you get the front right, the rear end should take care of itself.
Just be sure you don't exceed the TV's GVWR, the rear GAWR, or the receiver's tongue weight rating.
If you are 1/2" high, you are at the upper limit of Ford's specification for the Excursion.
You might want to increase the rearward tilt of the ball mount by one increment if you can do so.
