How to lift rear 1"?

[GJarrett]

Is there a spacer, coil, insert, or other way available to give my '08 Expy a very mild 1" lift in the rear?

Hey Gerald. Long time no see. I will help look around. Not sure if there is one that small for the rear. I have 2" on the rear of my 2004

Hey Brian! Hope all is well with you. Yeah,real long time no see. I had to go up to an Expy to haul my 6,500lb boat/trailer; the little Explorer just couldn't haul the thing well enough.

Ashli has made clear this one won't get built up like the Explorer. A 3/2 lift is too much and will probably look silly with stock size tires. I do plan to take the rake out and lift the front to match the rear. It has 1"~1.5" of rake and I can find 2" front lifts; I'd like to lift the rear 1" with a 2" front to level it out.

I'm sure that Daystar would have a small spacer that would work.

I couldn't find one at Daystar but just learned that Traxda (formerly Truxxx) has one. I'll try that. Thanks

Check out Ebay, I just got 2'' front and 1'' rear for the Expedition from there. Look to be good quality haven't installed them yet.

Hopefully I can get it on in the next couple of days and I'll post up some pics.

 

[GJarrett]

Please do post some pics... I'd like to see how it looks. That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks!

It's taking a little longer to get it installed, probably this Friday

 

[GJarrett]

Bumping the thread.... did you ever get it installed yet?

Well we ran into a hiccup when we went to put the rear spacers in, we are going to have to cut the studs on the strut down because they are longer then the thickness of the spacer and you have to do some dremelling around where the nuts go on the spacer as they won't fit otherwise. Just haven't gotten around to it, been slammed at work and with all my other projects.

Did you ever get the spacers installed?

Why not get the Rancho leveling kit? It includes loaded adjustable struts as well.

I've got it on my 07 EL and its been great. Turn up the dampening for the loaded family vacations and dial it back when its just me.

That lifts the front, not the rear. Does Rancho make a similar product for the rear?
