It’s a 2010 Expedition EL EB with 3"/2" lift + 295/70/18 (was 275/55/20) + Hypertech Max Energy.
The 3/2 lift/leveling kit came from an eBay seller - $150, including shipment.
I got the 4 18" rims off eBay, for less then $300, including shipment – used but lock just great – as good as new.
The tires are from Discount Tire Direct for $1,050, including shipment – NO RIBBING at all.
After the installation, at list ¾” clearance at the narrowest tire-to-body point (front with steering half way to ether side).
Could have put 285/75/18.
I chose the Hypertech (AutoEnything - $300 at my door) because they can update the new tires size and because their representative where the most responsive and quick to reply before the purchase (as well as after).
After consulting with the Hypertech tech support (very nice and willing to help) the Max Energy is set to 34.25" tire size, 25% increase shift firmness, +300 rpm for the first gear and +500 rpm for 2-6 gears as well as +500 to the rpm limiter.
The tune works great and it is BIG improvement over the stock tune, in all aspects.
Now I'm waiting to the option to control/adjust the Traction Control, TPMS levels, more torque in Low gear and low end rpm and it will be perfect.. for me.
Next step, for the suspensions, is to find a longer steering knuckles (see why in the pics) and maybe long travel air struts for all corners (and a rear diff locker..)/
Any way.
To make a long (and ongoing) story short, here are some pics…
Before the lift.
