Well over the 4 years of building my Expedition the way I want it for off-roading and now I'm at a point where its gotta get jacked up more.
Everybody says jus sell and get a truck. Well the thing is the Expedition suits my needs for what I do and a truck just isn't what I need or want.
I've done the 3/2 suspension lift fixing to do a 2" body lift. But at the end of the day it's not what I want.
I want 8"s of suspension lift sitting on 38's.
Now I Kno u can do the front swap to a F150 but again it's not worth it .
I've been reading A LOT these past couple of months on solid axle swap.
Now granted I haven't found any information on a 03 Expedition a probably won't either.
But there are plenty on f150 close to my year and at the end of the day it's all pretty much the same procedure.
I just gotta get some axles and springs drop Shackles for the springs to give me the 8" lift.
Weld up the spring Shackles 4 link the rear and 3 link the front the drive shaft may need to be either modified to work with the rear axle or replaced with something else.
The only thing that I'm not sure on is the steering.
The steering chunk Assembly can't remember what it's called might need to be swapped out to a older style gear box or not.
There was a build up thread on doing a 04 Explorer Solid Axle Swap which will be the closest thing to my 03 Expedition.
But for the life of me I can't find it now.
So i welcome any opinions or feedback on this is appreciated..
Thanks
