If I replace the front door handles on my Super Duty or Excursion with rear door handles to get rid of the lock cylinder altogether, will that be enough to protect my vehicle?

NO! Although replacing the front handles with rear handles is possible, and may serve as a somewhat effective visual deterrent, entry can still be gained by prying under the handle and grabbing the lock rod at the door latch. If you plan to swap handles, you can easily add our Jimmi’ Jammerâ„¢ rear door kit (PN 103010) to both the front and rear doors to prevent thieves from getting to the latch with a wire or thin tool.
