And most of those rollovers are because people don't know how to drive. I wouldn't lower a 4x4 vehicle. But I have considered lowering mine to make it easier for my 94 yr old mother to get in. But mine isn't 4x4

Most everyone on the road now doesn't know how to drive. Heck 16 year olds were handed licenses this year with no road test.....

Not in CA. They were running the driving test all Pandemic. Several neighbor kids got licensed in the last 6 months.

I get the attraction of lifting a truck/SUV. But lowering one never makes sense. Better off getting a hot rod wagon like 550hp awd Merc, BMW, Caddy thing which even has / had a manual transmission. They all run circles around SUVs

I would love to lower mine due to the fact i have 3 kids all under 6 and 2 dogs and my wife struggles to load the kids up. Its not a huge problem for me being avg height but it would still be very nice. My family wont fit in an explorer or any “mid size” suv comfortably and i love the expedition just wish it was 2” lower. I have no need for a raised suv n like you i dont see why anyone would want to raise the expedition. If i wanted an off road vehicle id buy a real truck. And the advantages of lowering the expedition far out weigh that of raising it for the mass market of consumers. Everyone just think it looks cool to raise theirs. Idk y

LoL so your the typical mini van buyer who bought a SUV? I mean most of us who buy these do so because we need a real truck. I needed real 4x4, locking rear diff, real ground clearance for the stuff we do. Yeah its actually a real truck not a mini van.

I got with ground force over on the east coast and got some two inch lowering springs for my 06 handles the best it's ever handled also put on some Bilstein 4600 series truck rides better than it did brand new
