hey was up? i was wondering if anyone here knows anything about lifting a 01 expedition with the stock air ride? some people told me you cant do a suspension lift with the facotry air ride..... that pretty much sucks if its true, im tryin to lift maybe 6" an put some 35 ot 37 nitto mudd grapplers on, i want to still be in the legal limit........ i dunno alot about the lifted vehicles i been a lil slammed import guy

any help would help ha

 

fabtech makes a 6" lift kit for the air ride expeditions. It's not cheap though and I don't think you can clear 37's on 6". 35's are even doubtful unless you can afford to do some trimming.

 

i dont like the sound of that "not cheap" ha. an theres people clearing 35"s with a 3" bodylift even found someone in norfolk clearin 37"s with a 4" suspension lift on SUVWORLD.com i think. but thanks for lettin me know about the fabtech lift, i'll look it up an see what its gonna run. Oh an the guy with the 37"s said there was alot of trimming involved im sure some trimming has to be done even for the 35"s

 

damn after lookin around....... anyone know the cheapest place to get a fabtech lift? ha

 

Do they make an Expedition without the air ride option? If so, why not just sell yours, and by a non-air ride model?

 

yea they make them with out the air ride, but those are usually the lower end models an the ones with the 4.6 engine, the one i got is fully loaded an has the 5.4 an i already got it so i doubt ima sell it, but i should have looked into it a lil more before i bought this expedition. another option i have is jus doing a 3" body lift an i can run 35"s with some trimming, wont be as big as i wanted it but its a cheaper route to go.

 

That truck would look STUPID with a 3" body lift. Big gaps between the body and the bumpers.... Dude, do it right, or don't do it at all...

 

well thats why im lookin into the suspension lift. i looked around online a lil for the fabtech kit an everywhere i found wanted me to order like 4 packages of the kit i havent found one that jus has the whole kit there an the price an the. on a side note, can you run nitto mudd grapplers on a 20x8" rim? every one i have ever seen online is people running a 20x10" rim on them. an i have only found 2 20x10" rims with the weak 5 lug pattern the expos run

 

ok body lift usually come with a kit to lift the bumpers as well, there is an 01 exp runnin around norfolk somewhere with a 3" boduy and 35's we did a state inspedtion on it at my work, fenders not trrimed and she was a lil top heavy but still didnt look too bad--and it had the factory air ride on it

 

that might work, def cheaper then doin a suspension kit
