Air Ride lift or conversion to coil overs

[njdevils90]

Hi i just joined the forum a couple days ago and recently bought a 2000 Expedition Eddie Bauer edition with the 5.4l auto trans and a4x4 with 4hi/lo and 17 inch chrome steel rims. I looked under her the other day and saw there are air shocks on all four corners and sometime in the near future i would like to be able to lift her probably 2-5inches for some off road fun in the winter and summer next year. My question (well theres two actually) is is there a lift kit with the air ride? If not where can i get a conversion kit to a coil over gas shock to lift and any reccomendations on a good set. Oh and another question popped in my head just now can i put any other sixed rims on the expedition? not like 22's more like 16's or 15's for cheaper off road tires and to me a better looking truck i personally think 17's are a bit on the big size but if i cant go smaller i can deal i can still slap some all terrains on her I appreciate any help thanks.

for rims anything bigger than 16" will fit... 15 wont clear the calipers... for conversion I am not too familier with the air-ride system someone on here lifted aa expy with it and had to do some custom fab work...
