money keeps dwindling 98 expy lift

[musicman126mrj]

My money keeps going down and down and down this sucks.
Got a question, If do the leveling kit with the torsion twist up front and the 2 in spacers in the back can I put 35in tires on it? Or do I still need the body lift? IM trying to find a cheap body lift.

NO you will not beable to clear 35's without the body lift... i got my body lift for $290 with shipping and my gap gaurds were $94 with shipping so really not that much im running 3" spacers in the rear $70 with shipping on ebay and the torsion twist up front with 35's hope this helps out

where did you find 3in spacers?

 

[KWT2000]

i got them on ebay they are billet aluminum. do a search for expedition coil spacer anf they should come up

 

[musicman126mrj]

i found them but do they come with installation hardware and everything? instructions?

 

[KWT2000]

there isnt any hardware needed they just sit under the coil spring

 

[musicman126mrj]

[KWT2000]

Hey guys, benn looking at a lift for mine as well. How much does the tortion twist up front screw with the ride quality? Also, is that something I can do myself in the driveway, or do I need special tools?

Thanks.

as far as i know it might stiffen the ride a little bit but not that much. as for doing it yourself, you would just have to buy the torsion keys i believe. i havent done this so not really my area of expertise. there are a few on here that have done it and im sure they will chime in soon.

i bought the torsion keys but couldnt get my torsion bars out to put then in.... i cranked the stock keys all the way up and got 2.25" of lift im saving up to get new bars and then work on beating the old ones out... you can crank the stock ones your self just get the front tires off the ground and let the suspension set at full droop then use a 3/4 inch socket and tighten them all the way..

So does it matter if you crank the stock torsion bars up as far as they will go or will it wear stuff out doing that?

 

[KWT2000]

no the after market keys are clocked different in turn doing the same thing
