You can do the air suspension conversion and get a spacer lift to fit larger tires. You can also get a more aggressive looking tire like an AT or MT. Get some new rims with a more offroad look.

If you do switch to coilovers in favor of airbags then any lifts/leveling kits for the 2003-2006 expedition are compatible. Tires and rims are totally up to you. You may be able to fit larger tires on a stock navigator but your options are limited.

I am in the process of doing the same thing. I purchased a 03 navigator cheap with air ride issues. I converted to springs, but what I did is I ordered f150 Coil overs which gave my front end a 1.5" lift over the stock rear strut setup. I am going to put a spacer lift in the rear this weekend, and then try to fugure out how much more lift i can squeeze out of the front end, yet level it out. I plan on putting take off raptor rims and tires when i can land a good deal.

Stock tires are around 32"s tall already. I have 305/45R22s on my Navi which are just a hair taller with no rubbing. After going to springs spacer kits will work no problem.

Post pics when it's done!
