Can I do a torsion twist on my 1997 2WD?

[Angels]

I can't seem to find the screws so that I can do a torsion twist. I really want to do it so I can raise the front end about 2", as my expy is unlevel. It's either a torsion twist or spend $40 on front spacers. I looked and cannot find the torsion adjustment screws. I've read that you can do a torsion twist on 2wd, 4wd, and AWD Explorers; is it the same for Expeditions?

I have coil springs in the front if that matters.

No, you can't do a torsion twist.
The first generation 2wds have coil springs up front; the 4x4s have torsion bars instead.
Maybe you can put in a coil spacer up front, though.

Thanks for the info! Guess I'll be saving up some money for the coil spacers.

Just to make sure about the spacers though; I can't find any specifically for Expeditions, but I can find tons for F150's. Those will fit if I match the year, right? Since F150's and Expeditions are pretty much the same thing

Could you link me? I can only find rear lifts for an expy. I found a 2" leveling kit for a 97-2003 f150 though.

I guess that they must have a lift kit made of bbq pork.

Haha yeah I figured out the real site.

Before I contact them, how much do you think the spacers would be? I mean I can get 1" ones for $40, but then the 1 1/2" ones go up to $120? Why so much for two pieces of plastic?

Maybe try ebay? Something like this?

or even taller coil springs?

There is plenty of stuff on ebay. Everything seems to indicate that the F150 and Expedition stuff is interchangeable, too.
