Front spacers on rear?

[Icemanjones]

Anyone know if front spacers can be used on the rear? Or if the rear strut bolt pattern matches any other vehicle?

The 3 Inch spacers are too long for the rear. Rear geometry can’t handle much over a 2 Inch.

I meant like 1 inch. I cant seem to find any 1 inch rear spacers as a strut spacer or coil spacer.

Here is a 1.5” rear spacer

They might be able to make you a 1” spacer.

If you only want 1” why not just use Bilstein 5100s?

Here is my thinking my 07 Expedition has 300,000 miles on it and I'm thinking I might need to replace the coils and the coil seat and insulator and now / corner it's over $200 and the bilstein's are going to cost more in labor charges than an assembled unit what do you think? Currently my wheel wells are 35 and 1/4 in and 35 in front and rear and I can't figure out if the coils are sagging or if that is where they're supposed to be. My non powered running boards appear to have a slight lowering from front to rear approximately 13 in vs 14 in

Very possible they could be worn. Have you checked to make sure none are broken?
Not heard that happening much on the Expeditions but was quite common on the early 2000s Explorers.

None of them look broken and they dont make any clunking or grinding noises but I figure when people say "the life of the vehicle" they may not be thinking of that high score. Im going to take it in sat and have them lift it up and check for any give or slop on the joints. Maybe they can tell how old or used everything is and give me their opinion. I love bilstein as I have them on my old lifted truck but that is a desert beast and this aint. Moog and acdelco seem to be the likely spring replacements as I read monroe is softer but hard to know.
