lift advice

[Redman1911]

I have a 2001 Expedition that's 2wd. I wanna put a small lift on it so it will sit up like a 4x4. What would be the best way to go about this? Body lift or swap my springs and shocks?

Probably a 3/2 levelling lift would work.

Here's a list of all choices

some are not available anymore due to lack of interest

I'd say leveling kit or body if you want more

Also you put in a F150 2WD front kit and custom rear spacers and coils
I think the fronts of the 2WD Expy and F150 are the same. but confirm first.

Off Road Warehouse Suspension Lift Kits Fabtech Ford Kits Fabtech 97-03 FORD F150 2WD 7.5” Lift

I agree with Canadian expy about the f150 lift. They are the same

Thank y'all for the input. I'm gonna look into the f150 lifts. I don't like how low it sits right now. Can't even use a floor jack lol.

What about coil spring spacers in front and back. Seems like a cheap fix but is it a good idea?

I have a 2000 eb with auto 4x4 and everything i can find for a lift kit says it wont work with auto 4x4. I looked at fabtech and rdc. Any suggestions wanted to go like 5-6 inches and 34s or 35s

I have been told putting 4WD coils in the rear of my 2WD will lift it a bit. Is this true?

Yea around 1 1/2 if you go to a junk-yard get it for a 5.4 with HD towing

You can get new rear coils from Rock Auto for about $70. I would buy new rather than used because springs do settle over time.
