I'm new to a deer lease, and my stock F150 King Ranch will be destroyed if I use it to get around! So, I'm buying my College Sr. a graduation present (new car) and going to take his (my !) 2000 Expy ( 2WD) and use as a lease vehicle.
I could make it around most of the lease with my F150, but it was getting scratched badly. Also, there were several areas that my clearance was not high enough.
So..... If I can get a few more inches on my axle (3-4 should be enough) on the Expy I should be good to go.
To that end, what is the most economical way to get some lift? I've researched a bit and found that there are Suspension Lifts ( = costly ) Body Lifts (= not free, but cheaper) and Lift Leveler kits (do these actually add real lift?).
I suspect that I'll need to do a Body Lift (3-x inches) and then buy some larger diameter tires. What combo of Body Lift height and Tire Size will get me 3+ inches on the axle ?
Thank you for your patience to this newbie !
