Hey all, first post on here and was looking for a little help. I wanted to lift my 2005 expy NBX a couple of inches so i clicked on our wonderful sponsor "strutmasters" and put in all my info. It came up with the Conversion kits for the Air suspension, and then the regular lift. My dilema was i didnt know if i actually had the air suspension on my vehicle (please forgive me this is my first SUV and am learning the process) So i looked up some specs on the NBX and this was what it said under suspension:
Suspension
Front Stabilizer Bar
Rear Stabilizer Bar
Independent Double Wishbone Front Suspension With Coil Springs and Off-Road Shock Absorbers
Independent Double Wishbone Rear Suspension With Coil Springs and Off-Road Shock Absorbers
Now no where in there does is say anything about Air Ride or Air suspension...
so i used the automated chat with Strutmasters and this was the conversation:

Hi Shannon i have a question about the ford expedition conversion kits you sell
Shannon says:
okay go ahead
Naz says:
I have a 2005 Expy MBX edition and i was wondering if you knew if those required a conversion or if i can just purchase the 3 inch spacer. Little Illiterate when it comes to this stuff so im not even sure if my vehicle has the air ride suspension
Naz says:
sorry thats NBX
Shannon says:
give me one moment.
Naz says:
sure no prob
Shannon says:
so you have an 05 expediton right
Naz says:
correct
Shannon says:
do you have a lift on it
Naz says:
no its factory at the moment
Shannon says:
4wd or 2wd
Naz says:

Shannon says:
you have air struts on the front and rear so you have an air system

Shannon says:

Naz says:
not sure if the NBX is different but it says nothing of air shocks??? could i be mistaken?
Shannon says:
not any different
Naz says:
so to get rid of the air shocks i would have to purchase that kit with the 2" and 3" lift then?
Shannon says:
if you want a lift then yes
Naz says:
okay thanks for your help
Now im confused... and i dont want to spend 600$ more than i need to just to lift the vehicle. So does the 2005 NBX edition have the air suspension that i should replace or do i just buy the spacers??
