the guy told me it was a body lift for a f150 they used

has anyone tried this?

he said the bumper bracket fab was the hardest part

i did the 3/2 on mine but more but cannot do a rize lift mainly for the $$$

 

[tallsville]

the one thing i have heard is no body lift if you have the adjustable pedals. not sure how true that is though.

 

[Lane24]

Not true. Dgray had adjustable pedals on his, and it worked.


EDIT: That was a 1st gen..... I can't say on the 2nd or 3rd gens ..... sorry bout' that

 

[donalds]

mine has adj pedals but i dont know why that would be a factor

 

[donalds]

i wonder on the 2nd gen how much would show with my 3/2 already on

 

[rescuer3]

Been wondering the same. I have 3/1.5 on mine but would like a little more room in the fender wells. Let us know what you find out.

Interesting, whenever I do lift mine I would love to do both suspension and BL at the same time to try and fit 37's.

lifted 2003 Expy

This Expy has a 3 inch levlin kit fromTruxx and a 3.5 body lift from Trick Trucks in El Cajon Ca. Also has a K&N intake and super 50 flowmaster muffler and rides with 35x12.5x 17 wheels from pro comp extreme.Kool 6 inch lift without the big cost of getting anRize lift

No picture or link? Maybe try again.

I've heard the f150 BL would work bumper brackets would have to modified, and I think the steering shaft extension needed modifications as well. But have only seen one expy with it done. Never seen up close pictures to verify of it was actually a BL or not.

Looks great! Love that stance.

Any contact info for that company, would like to price getting a kit shipped to Kansas for my expy.

Although it is very pricey... Rumor has it, that there is only a couple of kits left, and Rize will no longer make them for Gen2 Expys due to poor sales..

Anyone run into issues when running the Truxxx lift kit or any other body lift? As far as brake lines or anything else that may be attached to the frame?

Anyone find any other info pertaining to the body lift install? I would like to install this in addition to the 3 inch suspension already installed.

 

[sgtowing]

They don't make a body lift for secong gens. They say you can't do it with the adjustable pedals.

I know they don't make one. I have installed many body lift on Explorers of which they also don't make a kit for. I am thinking about ordering one for a 2004 F150 and going for it.
I don't know why the pedals would have anything to do with anything.
I will do some more searching.

 

[Trckmagik]

Here is the info that Performance Accessories states about the adjustable pedals on the F150. Don't see why it would be any diff on the expedition:

4. If equipped with adjustable pedals, operate the brake pedal button to ensure there is no interference with the steering U-joint or solenoid. If interference exists, slightly bend the brake pedal sideways

I just called the shop that has the picture of that 2004 Expedition with the body lift. They said that, it is indeed a body lift, and they used a 2004 F-150 kit. The gentleman said that the parts crossed right over and that the adjustable pedals were not an issue at all. I asked him to come here and do a write up, and maybe even try to be a vendor. I think I may make myself the guinea pig for this project in the next few months, if so, I'll do a complete write up, success or failure.
