Here’s a pic of the lift completed, finished it yesterday only took about 4 hours, it’s a custom 1.5” body lift with a 3.5”/2.5” level

3" cut in half? Man that's a clean looking rig.

Well I was going to get them mounted but we had the first snow fall of the year and I don't think my poor tire guy has slept since Thursday, every day when I drive home from work he's got a lineup like 25 deep, so I'm giving him some time lol. I'm planning on dropping them off Thursday or Friday and letting him get to them whenever he has some time.

Ordered balancing beads and picked up the spacers, gotta buy like 40 damn lug nuts...

WOW!! Looks awesome! What made you decide to cut the spacers in half? Just a height thing or were there some obstacles that made a 1.5" lift easier?

I want to remove my running boards but I already need to give my 85 year old mom a push on the backside to get her up into the Expedition when we go to dinner :).

I cut them in half for exactly that, easier. If I did the 3” a lot of thing would need to be moved and changed and the 1.5” body lift kind of let keep most things stock which was nice

It's a pretty popular thing to do with the similar gen explorer guys for the exact same reasons, and keeps the costs low. Half dozen pucks and maybe a few bolts? Lot of gain for a few bucks.

Oh yeah I think for the blocks, labor cutting them properly, and the bolts I’m all in for less than $150

You'd have been in another $100-250 for that extra 1.5" So definitely saved a buck.

Looks really good!

Tire guy sold, mounted, balanced, installed my spacers and wheels for $200+tax. Told me he had fun, so him and the guys got a case of beer.

Good move!

Was just wondering what all moved up and what stayed down. Radiator up while engine stays down? The steel bumper underneath the plastic must stay down, right? But the entire front shroud/grill goes up?

So radiator would go up, fan would stay down. Bumper mounted to frame would stay where it was, fenders/grille would go up.
