Yeah I have a few friends that did the 3” and needed to extend some thing here and there and I wanted to stay away from that, typically with 4runners, cruisers and other overland type trucks I saw that they were all going for basically a 1.5” body lift (probably to make I‎t easier to get things off the roof). So I did some quick guesstimate measuring and I‎t seemed like I‎t would work well for me. You can definitely tell the difference in person and I now think 37s should clear okay-ish. But I just bought 3” blocks from Zone and had them cut in half and I got All grade 8 hardware with some big washers/red loctite/proper torque specs. And I’ve had I‎t pretty fast around corners, had it in a few trails and have had zero issues at all. A 2” lift would be the absolute MAX as far as lines/wires/steering/fuel neck/bumpers go IMO... even the 1.5” kind of pushes everything a bit but I checked and I have slack everywhere and everything is proper. Fan shroud is only thing that needs adjustment.

Sorry what is Zone ? Auto Zone ?
I wanna get these I'm gonna try the 2" and c what all needs to be done. Cutting the fan shroud isn't no problem and if I need to trim the rear bumper also bc of the receiver then that not a problem either.
The extended brake lines shouldn't be hard to find.and the steering knuckle might be unless it's universal with a f150 or may have to have one made..
But I definitely doing this.

Thanks brother

Haha nice I’m ordering my WAM bumper at the end of the month but no they are specifically body lift blocks, just google 3” x 3” body lift blocks and those are the ones, you’ll need 8 of them and then 2 of the 2” x 3” high blocks

Yeah so if you’re gonna go with a 2” body lift then you need (8) 2” tall 3” wide blocks and (2) 2” tall 2” wide blocks. And that looks like them to me

Thanks I will if needed but can't be no more harder than the 3" leveling kit..hahah
I'm currently trying to find extended brake lines jus n case but tried a couple places and nothing for Expedition so maybe I need for a f150..
I'm probably gonna have to take mine and compare them to find what will work..
