Your worry then shouldnt be about a bouncy ride with the bags it should be about the back breaking ride with the 28's. You will also need to upgrade your brakes bc they will not last more then a couple thousand miles with rims that big

x2 if you plan on driving I would stay with 26's.

Where did you buy yours? And what did you pay, if you don't mind me asking(springs and install)? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and have Chux Trux order and install those exact springs and don't want to get screwed. I know I will pay a little more there than ordering of the internet but am willing to pay a little more to buy local. Also, why did you go with the Ground Force kit? I'm going with that one over the Eibach for the full 2" and because it already comes with the camber kit and if you add that to the Eibach they come pretty close to the same price with a little more drop. Let us know what kind of drop you end up with and if you get a full 2". Thanks

Victor

I called them directly...told them I didn't need the entire kit...just the springs due to me doing the conversion...so the rest of the kit (brackets etc) won't work...paid $350...went with them for the full 2" drop unlike eibach that offers less than 2" inch drop...price is just the parts....not installed...I can't do the job myself anymore since I had surgery and will need this done next week...$350 gets everything swapped...that's why I hesitated when I couldve got the truck fully bagged for $900...but I've never road in a bagged truck...only seen them...bouncing...and will wait to swap if it will be bouncing...

The front is kinda weird on mine. Just some shit the previous owner put together. I am gonna re do the front hopefully within the next month and I will take some pictures along the way to so how to properly set up the front. I don't know if you are a member at streetsource.com but check out this link...
Trucks Forum - Ford Trucks | Ford Expedition - Page 1

Regardless you are gonna have to weld and chop up the front, especially if you want to lay frame! The good news is you can run up to about a 30" tire and lay frame without having to tub the firewall, you just have to relocate everything on the inner fenders under the hood and do a bit of cutting on the inner fenders.

What bout bein 4x4. Did that give you any problems on bags. I wanna bag mine. My wifes cousin has 2 s10s we bagged. Ones tore back apart. Repainting it all and redoin everything. Tryin to get it on cover of mini truckin. And buddy of ours made cover plus went to Sema.

My navi look identical to yours but chrome 22s. I wanna at least drop it really good or bag it. But i noticed the transfercase hangs lower than frame.

Right now nothing is cut so I don't even lay crossmembers. For the front you simply unbolt the axle from the diff and cut the boot and take apart the joint leaving the the hub part of the axle in place. No more a4wd.
