    06 Expedition XLT Lift/Wheel Question

    gr82bag would be right in stating the tires are 34" tall. If Im correct the new 03 up expeditions have larger wheel wells. I had to trim about 3/4" from the front bumper valence. I still have the faintest rubbing when i back down a steep driveway while turning. I also have a faint rubbing noise...

    New lift

    I dont remember...I just did one side until i thought it was sitting where I wanted it. Just take a measurement from the top of the wheel well to the ground and crank until it is lifted 1.5 inches.You can go as high as 2 inches. I think more than that is to harsh on the cv joints and ride...

    New lift

    I put a pair of Daystar 2" spacers on the rear and I adjusted the torsion bars about 1.25". You just turn the bolts clockwise with an 18mm socket for the front lift. For the rear I jacked it up off the ground until the suspension was at full droop. I then unbolted the rear stabalizer and shocks...

    New lift

    It rides better in my opinion because the factory shocks were so worn out. I could move them like a slinky, with little resistance when I took them off. The truck also doesent porpoise as much front to back while driving down the road. It is a flat and controlled ride compared to before.

    New lift

    Heres what a light torsion crank 1" and a 2"daystar spacer looks like with 315-70-17s. I also put on new rancho 5000 shocks. It rides so much better. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/croatone/img004.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/croatone/img003.jpg

    starter going bad?

    Your starter might be ok. When a starter doesent get enough juice it cant throw the gear towards the flywheel. Thats why you heard the grinding sound. Hopefully the grinding didnt damage the flywheel.

    the tornado

    colder denser air creates more power on an internal combustion engine. My lightning made 12 more horsepower on the dyno in the winter time. cold dense air = power

    the tornado

    Physics are a fun thing. Technicaly creating a vortex moves air faster through a hole than no vortex. This being said the vortex of air is too disturbed by the time it gets into your intake manifold to do any good. Its a waste of money on anything besides a tbi motor with the throttle body right...

    Ready Lift Question.

    I never have figured out why after market keys are even necesary.The truck comes with adjustable keys already. You wouldnt want to go higher than two inches with stock bracketry for the a- arms and differential cradle anyways. It would also stretch out your cv shafts at to much of an angle. It...

    Starting problem after driven in rain

    When was the last time you had a tune up and You could have a bad mass air sensor. The moisture in the intake tube during the night could throw faulty voltage readings that would cause it to not idle properly. I have also seen guys that oiled there k&n filter to much and it caused a similar...

    tires and wheels?

    I might have to disagree with johnystar. Good year makes an excellent product. There is a reason the military uses them on hmmv. Also the goodyear mtr is used widely in rock crawling competions for being sticky and durable. I have used the silent armors on my little brothers trucks with great...

    want to lift my 03X

    Daystar has some poly 2" spacers. If you want a full kit I would go with Rize suspension. They make a very good looking kit for 03 up expy owners. The rear brackets for the irs looks awsome. I even think Revtek has a kit for you as well.

    5 lug to 6 lug spacers??

    Why would you want to change it to a six lug?

    Performance heads??

    I would get a new motor since your truck has been around the planet almost six times. Modular fords will last a long time with good care though. I have seen one with 225,000 miles. The guy used a full synthetic oil.I would find a 99 or newer motor with the power improved heads. Find a wrecked...
