I have a 4x4 2001 ford expedition eddie bauer, no air suspension! I was wondering if it came from the factory with a lift kit? I did the torsion twist and even before that it seemed to tower over most other expys? My buddy also has an 06 f150 with a 6" lift and it isnt much smaller than that, in fact the front ride height is almost identical(I sag my cars a bit in the back, I just like the desert truck look)Any input is welcome!Thanks!

It looks like you have a stock suspension with the torsion keys cranked all the way. Mine sits about the same as yours, and I cranked my keys 7 full turns a piece and ended up with my fenders 40 inches off the ground (measured right down the middle of the wheel. My rear with 2 inch spacers is 39.5 and I really like how it looks now.

I just measured mine and my fronts at 38" and backs at 36", Im running 265 70 r17 though! I was debating about rear coil spacers but never got them! your expy looks really good though and is making me second guess those coil spacers:) is there a reason this expy looks like it does though? Given its not an eddie bauer but still? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...isQOpkYD5AQ&page=1&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0

Yeah the 4x4's sit much higher than the 4x2's do. Not sure what is up with the expo that you posted the link to, mine sits pretty much level. Here is a pic of my 2wd '02 Eddie Bauer ridding on stock 275/65r17's.
