Your truck is looking good!

What size wheels and tires? I'm guessing 18x10 and 33x12.5?

What size/type of lift? Torsion Bar Twist and 2" Coil Spacers?

If they're in good condition, I'm interested. What part of PA are u in? (hopefully close to Baltimore)

They are in good condition. I live in central PA, this weekend Saturday evening I will be in Fayetteville, PA which is close to MD. If you send me PM with your email address I can send you some pics of them when I get home from work this evening.

@ remo
Thanks. Yes, they are 18x10 Rims with 33x12.50. they are 3" spacers on the rear with torsion bar twist in the front. I had to crank the bars up the entire way to get it level.

Lookin' sharp!! I would recommend the readylift torsion keys as opposed
to cranking the bolts all the way ... about $230. That way you will have
adjustment left for changes in brush guard, winches, etc..

Looks 100% better with the new combo. IMO, stay away from any torsion keys. If you do any medium to serious off roading, look into a real suspension lift. I have turned the factory bars on 3 of my past Expeditions w/out any issues

 

[sngltrck1]

I totally agree that a suspension lift is ideal for offroading ... however,
between completely pre-loading the bars vs. re-indexing with a new key that
is 25% stronger than OEM - well no tuff choice here.

Well I was going to start a new thread but I decided against it.

Anyways, long story short, selling the Expy today and picking up a 2008 FX4 super crew (I felt I got a really good deal on it.) I'll try to post a picture of it when I get her home. My wife and I were both sad to see the expy go but the expy was starting to "Nickel and Dime" me. One major thing i know it needs is new brake lines this summer.
I have already sold the wheels/tires and the other aftermarket parts. Sorry guys, my brother-in-law bought the stuff for his 2000 F150.

I will probably stick around and check out the F150 page. I just wanted to thank everyone personally for their help, ideas, and "opinions" during my love affair with the expedition. Thanks guys.

Sorry to see it go but at least your moving up and sticking with ford. Screws are nice. That's what Sol got.
