Lifting a 03' EB 5.4 AWD

[Alwayz]

I want to go for a 5" Lift look, what's the best and cheapest way to do it?
can i do a torsion twist with my own tool for this car? and can i still stack that with spacers?

Thanks for any replies ahead of time.

2nd gen no torsion twist. use spacers can get 3"front 2"rear. $150-$400 or go go for a rize 8" lift for 3k

3k is too much for me. can i do 3" front key, 2" rear Spacer, then a 3" Body? btw what is the difference between Spacers and body lift kits?

dont do a rize kit. great for street queens but that is about it. at least thats what ive heard around the forums.

all they make for our years (03-06) are a 3/2 2/2 or 8 inch lift

you would think they would come out with something new. but i havent seen anything yet. from looking at mine, it almost looks like i could stack another spacer on top of what i have now that i have the tires on it. before with stock tires and the 3 inch lift the front axles were maxing out

So I should do a 3/2 lift first, get tires, then do a 3" body? but both of these processes are just spacers correct?

Thanks again for everyone's reply.

Update:
Sorry but what do you guys think about this Lift Kit from ebay?

thats the kit i've been looking at. as for bodylift i cant remember where i saw it but it said if you have adjustable pedals you cant do a body lift. not sure if its true or not. but thought id let you know

I cant bc of the rear suspension. No one makes a kit for it, not even body lift

i think the body spacers are the same between the 2nd and 3rd gens but you have an el. so who knows if itll fit.

so are you suggesting stacking spacers will work? isnt that unstable though

wont work bc of the adjustable pedals.

you cant stack or add a coilover lift plus a spacer bc you wont be able to align the truck, trust me Ive done my research.

so 3/2 is for sure the highest we can go?

adapt a body lift from a 1st gen expy

what do you mean by adapting a body lift from 1st gen?

 

[Expedition]

well a body lift is basically spacers that go between the body and frame, check the 1st gen expys since alot of stuff between 97-10 is interchangeable i doubt ford moved the body mounting points. It might be worth it to look more into it.

Do a search for me or for rptr00. We have a thread where we found an 03 with a body lift and the spacers. They do not, and I repeat do not make anything for the rear of the 07+ there is no retrofitting etc... it just wont work
