I am looking to add a mild lift to my 2007 Expedition EL. The 2"-3" lift/leveling that the above kits offer is about what I am looking for (and it seems are the only ones on the market for this generation Expedition in this lift range). However, I noticed that the average price for the Readylift SST is approximately $100 more than the Truxxx system even though they essentially look like the same basic design and hardware.

So what is the difference and why should I pick one over the other? I don't mind spending more $$ for a product. However, I at least want to know what the differences are (quality, construction, durability, brand name recognition, etc.) to make a determination if the extra cost is worth it.

Ive been looking into this myself. I think Im going to go with the Truxx just bc of the price, looks like the same product.

Now the problem lies in the tire size. I might have to keep my stock rims for now but I would love to stick some 35's even if I have to do some minor trimming.

I'd send Ready lift an email and ask them what the difference is.
If they don't have any compelling evidence, then I'd shop based on price.

Does anyone have pics of a 2-3" leveled Expy with stock tires?

I just installed the Rough Country 2.5" Leveling kit for my 04 on Sunday. Installation was easy and I had no issues. $180!
