I have an 05 4x4 EB that i would like to put a lift on. The only problem is there are no lifts for them except the one from RIZE automotive and I don't have 4k for it. I came across these and since in need new shocks i thought it might be worth a try. They also have the shock by itself. Here is the link. http://www.gorancho.com/assets/application_pdf/Rancho_Suspension_quickLIFT_Loaded.pdf . Any opinions would be appreciated. I don't like the thought of using the spacers. Thanks.

Unfortunatly if you want any "real" amount of lift you will need to use the spacer systems since your year Expy runs independent suspension.

Here is a link to a few different brands from Rocky Mountain Suspension:

http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/fd4_expedition.htm

They have a 3" Front with a 2" Rear from Ready lift that is really well priced ( $400 ) and will allow you to run 35" tires comfortably. I have seen a couple of people run them and seem to be really happy with it.

I would be affraid of those coil overs from Rancho making the front end "stiff" to achive the little 1" leveling, but I could be wrong.

From the research I have done, I think it does the lift by raising the spring mount on the shock. The same way the ones from monroe do . Unfortuneatly though, those aren't for the Expy, just F150's. Plus I like the adjustable shock feature. But, I'm not sure


I have seen that kit before. The only problem with that is it does not have the longer front driveshaft or the brake lines.

If you add a set of Rancho RS9000 shocks to the rear and use their quick lift setup for the front, you can add the MyRide remote and control the shock stiffness from the driver's seat.

I have the MyRide, and it rocks.

you can look up icon they have adjustable coil over for the front and you can do a spacer lift in back. i know this link is for an f150 but talked to a big offroad specialist here in cali and they said it would work for expy.

I can't do that with mine. I have an 05 and they have the irs suspension. Rancho makes the quick lift for the rear too and all four corners would be adjustable. I would like to do the mide ride but money is tight.

I am running the 8 inch rize lift on my 06 limited awesome ride,and great quality lift. I'm currently running 35s but plan on 37s next time only issue is the inside rear CV boot clamp keeps breaking I think its due to it hitting a bolt from the lift but im not positive im gonna look more today and see if I can solve it.
