I have already gotten a new sound system and KMC spy rims 17x9 in. rims. I have now come to the decision of lifting it. the problem is it is a 2wd expedition any recomendations on what i should do. I have would like to clear 33s or 35s ideally. I would like to keep it fairly cheap also. Thanks.

Im not sure how to post pictures but i tried to put one in on this thread

Here is exatly what id do. Get fabtech 3.5" spindles to lift the front. Since the 2wds are raked pretty good i would also add a 2" or 1.5" coil spacer for the front. Then get 3" coil spacers for the rear and youve got a 5/3 lift that will look awesome and level the truck out nicely. To be honest you mind aswell forget about 35s unless you wanna go Thermo with it. It can be done but a 5" lift on the front of a 2wd is like a 2" lift on a 4wd, and 35s will be crammed in there. So i'd do the above mentioned lift and get some beefy 33s

well then if you were going to do a body lift as well, I would go 35s.
performance accessories body lift though. they're the best
A buddy and me did my body lift in a weekend, with hardly any sleep and a generous amount of beer.

No body lift, 33's, with a body lift, then 35's. Like was mentioned, do the 3.5" lift spindles and a 2" spacer in the rear. From there, you can do the body lift or not.

Just what I said lol. He can also add a 1.5" coil spacer for the front like many of the lifted 2wds ive seen on forums
