Make it "handle" or Lift it??

Darnit!

I had my heart set on lifting my '06 with a ReadyLift spacer kit but now I realize that sway bars exist for it. It sure would be fun to get a better handling truck thats still good in bad weather, but the lifted 2nd Gens with big beefy tires look damn good too.

Who else has had this dilemma?

No one, lift it and add the sway bars also :flamingdevil:

Then you have a lifted Expy that handles

Its been done, but it may be a bit counter-productive as sway bars are meant to limit wheel articulation. Thats like adding high flow cats then adding an additional resonator to the exhaust system

the fun will be lookin at the truck lifted like u want...u wont have enough room to do the 6" lift and sway bars...

6"?! I want the 3/2 leveling kit...

6" would be awesome on an excursion. Dont get me started there :-( i've often considered selling the Expedition for a V10 Excursion

There isn't a 6 but, there is an 8 for the 2nd Gen. Go check Rize Lifts, hit prodjuct then the Ford emblem in Suspension. Bad ass! I am workin on an 8 inch lift option for my 3rd Gen and me, a lift mfg and a Ford tech have a solution details to follow

I'm looking at the ReadyLift 3/2 leveling kit and I think that's the best (appearance wise) idea that you could have my buddy has a f150 on the same kid of lift with 35s and it looks great

Are the ball joints and/or control arms a 100K mile maintenance item?

I just recently had everything flushed in the car and would like to keep everything nice and tight if I'm going to be adding heavy 35" tires...

Looking forward to hearing more about this.
