3.5/2" lift came

[rock3ralex]

Well I appreciate that! Especially when I am one of the new guys here, thanks!
I wanted to give an update as well, I found a 3.5" spindle kit for the 2wd finally! Comes with a 2" rear spacer as well to help level it a bit. My plan is to do the 3.5" spindle up front with a 3" coil spacer, and use the 2" spacer in the back. I know this will leave me a bit "front tall" but I prefer that look. I also will be upgrading the springs and shocks, but wanted to ask a question. Is there a spring from maybe a newer or bigger Ford I can use, to maybe accent the lift a bit or maybe add to it? I prefer the stiffer ride so I am not worried about that. Just was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Here is the kit I will be getting...
97 02 Ford Expedition 3 5" Lift Kit | eBay

Should I also be grabbing new upper control arms to go with the new spindle lift? Like these...
9 PC Set Control Arm Pitman Ball Joints Tie Rods Ships from USA 2 Year Warranty | eBay

Or should I not bother?

Thanks again for all the help!

I don't believe you would need new upper control arms. Correct me if Im wrong

Just installed the front today with tallsville! Thanks a bunch, super nice guy. Took about 2 hours for the left front then 30-40 min for the right. Beginners learning curve. Talls helped me through the first and I did the second by myself.

I plan on installing the rear soon and getting some 285 or 305s

I don't think ill ditch the stock rims with as many miles as it has but it was definitely worth lifting it. Looks so much more manly and like a truck instead of a soccer dad car. Cheers

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.

Did you do the rears yourself? Was it difficult to do? I am contemplating on whether I am going to do this myself of have a shop do it.

 

[tallsville]

If i remember correctly he had a shop do the rears for him.
