Rough Country...Montana

Sorry for the thread...know this has been covered ad nauseam. Local shop installs Rough Country lifts, says he can't find a 3/2 lift for a 99 Expedition! Any suggestions for him...be nice!

Yea tell me about it.

Do what I did. I bought a 4-5 inch lift kit for a f150 1000$ (it should be here soon to do a wright up) fits the front of are expys, and get a 3in coil spacer for rear (I made my own 3 1/2inch). Sell the rear stuff it brings (rear block, u-bolts, and hardwear).
That's good enough to run 35s easy.
Next if you want more (like me) get a 3inch body lift aswell and run 37s like i will when the lift for the front gets here.

Might have to go with more lift then I wanted (3/2). Don't do any rock crawling or anything like that. Mostly bird hunting or elk and deer hunting. Get on some narley roads but nothing too bad. Thought about a torsion twist and rear spacers, but don't want to deal with the harsh ride or wear on front end parts.

If its your everyday driver then I wouldn't do a 3in torsion key.

Not unheard of to do couple thousand mile round trip for bird hunting. "If it flies it dies" Could use the extra ground clearance, but don't need it to ride like a lumber wagon!

You could do just a 3 inch body lift all around and run 35's. That would be plenty big to handle any roads you get on. I do a lot of snowmobiling in the winter and see some gnarly roads myself, never had issues since I put on the 33's, and I have a heavy trailer behind me too.

I know my buddy uses a trailer to hunt but not sure if you do too.
