2000 EB 4x4 AWD Suspension Lift?

[AZCoues]

I'm new to the site and have been checking all the threads I can find on lifting the Expeditions. I went by a 4x4 store today and wanted to get a lift for my Expedition. It is a 2000 Eddie Bauer with AWD. The store looked up the Fabtech lift, but when I said it was AWD, they said no. I won't mention the store, but is one of the big 4x4 stores out there. They won't touch it.
I checked Rancho's website and can't find anything for a year 2000. They are only showing 2003 and newer.
I see a few of you on here seem to have lifted an AWD Expedition and I was looking for some advice. I really want to do a suspension lift, as I do a lot of offroading in some really rocky terrain. I want to be able to put some 35's underneath it as well. Whatever advice you can give I would appreciate it.

The problem with the AWD models is that you get some front driveline vibration at highway speeds. I have my 5'' lift kit listed in the for sale forum.

the fabtech 6" does work with AWD... got it in mine... but if your looking for 35s... a 3" body lift and spacer can fit a 315/75r16... basically a 34.5x12.5...

i have the rancho 4" susp on mine and i have A4WD. i do not get the driveline vibration on the highway but some people do. with the fabtech, if you get driveline vibration they sell an additional part that will help with that.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I checked with Desert Rat and they in turned gave a call to Fabtech. Basically it is a 50-50 chance on the driveline vibration from what Fabtech told us. Desert Rat will install the 6" Fabtech with custom CV style driveshafts front and rear. I just have to sign the waiver in case there is vibration.
Haven't quite decided as of yet if I'm going to shell out the cash for it. Or sell the Expy and get something else.
