Lowered my 2001 expy

[BlowerWhore]

I have been researching for a bit now trying to figure out part numbers for the drop spindles through belltech and cant seem to find them. Do you by chance have any part numbers handy for the spindles or drop shocks? I already know I can go with the 2 inch drop springs on the rear. Thanks!

I'm selling my rear lowering springs with airlift helper bags if your interested. I can help you find the spindles aswell. Shoot me a text 908-442-5354

I know this is an old thread but I just bought my Expedition which is a 2001 Eddie Bauer 2wd. I would like to lower mine 2 inches or maybe less. Any thoughts from guys that have done it?

your truck is 2wd. Super easy to lower it. I would get DJM front upper and lower control arms. Get rear bell tech lowering springs. If your interested. I can get you links.

Thank you very much. I would appreciate it

Here’s a link to two options of kits to get but what I would do is just get the DJM control arms use the factory front springs with no isolators (the rubber rings that go on the springs and no it will not make noise when you drive) and use the 4” rear lowering springs

I love DJM products but their shocks suck so here is what I recommend for shocks
Belltech makes decent shocks nowadays

Thank you very much. I would appreciate it

One more thing I forgot. You will need camber bolts here’s the link for them. When you install these. You want the bolts turned all the way out meaning the upper control arm will slide out towards you when you adjust them
