they dont have brackets for 2"... you could make a set or just go with 3" if you have plans on going bigger in the future

Okay, I was thinking about it and decided that if I'm going to o through all the work of installing a body lift....I might as well go with 3 instead of 2! Thanks for the info guys!

I have a 4" Rancho lift kit on mine with bilstien shocks and it rides like stock, I have 35" on it and it rolls over speed bumps like nothing. Just feels like a small bump (I think thats attributed to the bilstien shocks). Check out Ebay for smoking' deals. Deals are everywhere. Personally I wouldn't run a body lift. Something about those bum me out. Plus the resale value on a suspenstion lift is greatly increased over a body lift (plust you can see the frame, which i think is lame). I think you can get a kit on ebay for like $600.00 and those can clear 35's. Mine does. And it rides like stock. Nice and plush. I have 16" wheels on it and I think with the smaller rim and oversize tires makes for a more cush ride. Do a lot of research before making your decision. personally I think you'll get more bang for your buck going for a suspension lift like Rancho. I have a 4" and it's perfect. Don't rush it and be weary of "smokin' deals". Good luck on your venture.

Here's one, kinda spendy buy you get a full 6" of lift from Fabtech http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fabtech-6-Lift-4wd-Ford-Expedition-1997-2002-/390372176740?hash=item5ae3feb364&item=390372176740&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr but there are many more on ebay you can choose from. Maybe when I get my Long Travel kit you can buy my lift kit from me for cheap. It's an idea. Hunter - Phoenix

there is a bolt on both sides at the end of the bar and crank it up but count how many times you twist it driver side first
