3/2 lift

[gncroft]

Just want to say thanks to all the lifted 2nd gen owners who posted their results about lifting their Expeditions! After many hours researching info on lift kits, I finally pulled the trigger and lifted my 06 Limited. I used the 3.5/2.5 ebay lift and picked up a set of used tires for fitment purposes. The outcome ended up being a perfect match. Specs on my Expy are: 2006 Limited 4x4, 175,000 miles and counting, towing mirrors from 1Aauto, 3.5/2.5 lift from ebay, 18x9 Helo wheels with a 0 offset, and 325/60/18 (33x13.5x18) Mickey Thompson MTZ tires. Lift and tires together lifted the Expy 5" total. Thanks again!!!

This is the best I have for now, I plan on detailing it up this weekend and getting some better shots.

Great looking truck bud definitely one of the coolest Expys I've seen!

Thanks! Now time to save up for new tires, these are only about 25%. I think it was worth the minimal cost for used before I spent 1K on the wrong size.

Did you do the install yourself? I am thinking about doing it but it's taking me a bit to get the confidence to do it.

I have a friend that has a mechanics shop, so I took it there and helped him do it. Having a lift and all the correct tools made it go quick. I think it took less than 2 hours start to finish. In a home garage it would have probably taken 3 times longer. But all in all, it is an "easy" job, and the directions have many unnecessary steps...... You can do it, just dont get in a hurry and you will be fine.

nice setup, exactly the direction I want to go with my 04, question, do you have any rubbing with that suspension/wheel-tire setup? Looks sweet.

All I had to do is trim the bottom of the front bumper. I just used a sharp knife and trimmed it at an angle, you can't even tell. It only rubbed in reverse with the tires turned, but not anymore. Nothing eles rubs at all.
