6 inch lift. on 97 to early 03 expeditions
I got a 2000 awd 5.4 expedition non air ride.
I did not custom build my lift by any means but i did have to use f150 parts, expedition and f250 parts.
First airbagit.com was the only place i could find 6 inch lifted coils for the rear. $149 for the pair.
I bought the rest of my front suspension parts from stylin trucks... Which i will never buy from again. The parts i did recive were either wrong or mis matched. 2 diffrent upper control arms. 2 diffrent hub assemblies 1. 14mm stud 1. 12mm stud.
How does that work?
Back to the build. Ended up doing a lot of ebaying that month.
Air bagit.com for the 6 inch lift coils for the expedition. $149 turned out to be just over 5 inch diffrence over stock.
I ordered 3.5 inch torsion keys for an f150.
From airbagit.com $129 they were the cheap off brand but they have been cranked for about 4 years now with no problems.
At their lowest point they are about 3 inches over stock. Mine are cranked a bit and im about 4.5 inches over stock.
Drive shaft issues... Not really but cv angle issues for sure.
I had to custom make diff drop brackets for the front. I ended up lowering the front diff 4 inches for about $20 at menards and a couple hours of measureing and fab.
Rear drive shaft issues did not present them selves right away. But to not keep eating rear u-joints i ordered a 1 inch driveshaft spacer for an f250.
Off ebay $79.
Direct to pro comp for my shocks
4 es9000's about $190
Going to be doubling up shocks at all four courners this summer. Doing a much needed dual steering stabilizer kit.. Pro comp of corse for a f250.
And a 3 inch pa body lift.
I can easily fit 35s which is whats on the expedition now. And with minor rubbing last year had a set of 37s on it for a bit. Keep in mind this is my wifes daily driver/kid mover...and she beats the hell out of it.
