Finally done

[TooHighExpo]

i posted about a month ago with questions about lifting a air ride eddie baur 4x4 expedition evidently nobodies done it ha or at least with a fabtech kit.

only bad's were
kit shocks on the front wouldnt match up with the front shock hoops
so i had to weld plates in 4" lower than the original shock hoop

the traction bars that mount to the tortion bar drop brackets and the second crossmember underneath the front differential were 8" short so i extended them

and the rear air bags to swap to coil's all i need were some upper coil spring isolators about 40 bucks on rock auto.com

will post more pics later but for now heres a few.

[Expedition]

B*tch looks BAD!!

 

[Lane24]

Wow. Just freekin Wow !!!! Great job !!!!!

 

[Spoon-Man]

Looks great.

 

[nvycrmn]

nice work. truck looks great. why 36's instead of 38's?

 

[sngltrck1]

YES!!

Perfect timing on those photos as I'm putting the same combo on my '98 EB. Looks great !!

What was your price with install?

Are you going to re-gear as well?

 

[TooHighExpo]

Thanks for all the compliments.
till this day i dont know why i didnt get 38's ha im kicking myself for it.
it didnt cost me anything ha did it myself.
well except youll need coil spring isolators some parts you dont have on air ride suspension.

and re gearing? um if i get 38's maybe 4.56's i dunno though they seem kinda drastic to me.

but as for now. im getting a deck soon but ive got my 4 jbl power series 12"'s in and it knocks.

after my deck im thinking 22x14's

 

[nvycrmn]

you got anymore recent pics? i am thinking of doing the same thing to mine. the only thing holding me back is my brushguard and my hidden winch mount as far as the BL is concerned. wanna upgrade from my 4" to the 6".

 

[walnuts4x4]

if ur going to go with 38s I would go with 4.88s.... they are in my plans for this fall hopefully if i have the cash saved up

 

[BeaveDogg]

Im new to this forum, but hae owned my 99 Expy for about a year and a half. I would like to know where i can get one of those stickers for my car.

 

[nvycrmn]

well one of my officers used to be an enlisted hull tech so he is not new to welding so him and i are gonna get together and start workin on some stuff. this is great cuz he will be able to help me get an axle ready for a SAS! hopefully this time next year she will be SAS'd sittin on 40" boggers!!!!!!

so ur SASin that thing? that would look very unique and kool at the same time. hey if you need help welding im fairly good at it, maybe dont trust me just yet, but i am going to go to school for it next year, got to get my degree in december first.

 

[walnuts4x4]

40s???? I could fit them with my setup but when I do a SAS I want 44s...but I would stay away from boggers if you want to drive it on the street... they wear really fast, ride like crap-o-la, and suck on wet pavement... just my .02.. friends had boggers and got rid of them

 

[nvycrmn]

yeah boggers would only be for the mud pit. i will probably go 44s once i get her sas'd. panda, you can def help if you want. i need this thing to be bigger than walnuts! hahah.

 

[walnuts4x4]

everyone wants to be bigger... i wish mine was lower... destroyed my knee today and still trying to figure out how to get into it and go home tonight... softball in the mud sucks...lol

 

[nvycrmn]

i tell you what, why dont we just meet in the middle of the country and trade our expies straight up?! you get lower with a little bit of lift, and i get bigger (and the hood i've always wanted!!!!!!) hahah

 

[panda24619]

okay lets put a dana 60 with an air locker in the front out of a heavy duty and lift it with some coil overs and 4 link it. the rear well get rid of the stock suspension and lift it with some coil overs as well and 4 link it. keep the stock 9.75 with a detroit, same as a d60. put about 8" of lift on it. and put 44 creapy crawlers on it and take it to bronco peak. well kill all those jeeps out there.

 

[nvycrmn]

im down! d60 and 4-link...gonna be killer
