New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

[hypercardriac]

I’m new to the farm and I’ve read a lot of good pulse here I have a first GEN that I bought back in 2001 and still have it to this day. It came loaded with four-point air suspension which I took off and put on Monroe coilover in the front. my question is is there any other brands of struts then I can use in the front example Rancho, Bilstein, to replace with and if so do you need some type of spring to go along with it. I just bought some brand show 9000 XL for a 4 inch lift for the back and I’m planning on cranking the torsion bar up in the front I was wondering if this set up would work?

If your just using the torsion bars to lift the front, you can buy spacers for the struts you have.. The just go over the top stud on the strut before you put it in..

Hey guys its been a while. Have done a few things to the expy since I was on here last. I pulled the Tcase and resealed it and did the transmission filter. Stripped a damn transmission pan bolt while I was doing it (hasn't leaked yet, knock on wood). And now the battery took a crap. I tell ya if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. I'll replace it this weekend or next. I haven't had a chance to lift it yet waiting until I find tires and can afford an alignment I'd like to get one of the lifetime ones, buy once cry once. I did get F250 springs for the rear lift George Salazar I believe the F250 front springs from 2007-2018 are all the same it depends on what motor and drive the pick up is. I found a chart going over the spring rates and lengths I'll try to find it again. The ones I have are off of a 2012 gasser I believe. I'll let you guys know more when I do more!!

Thanks for the response - I'm interested in how much lift the F250 springs yield. As someone else mentioned, the Z71 springs will lift a 1/2 ton Suburban 2" in the rear. I'd prefer to get a slight lift from springs rather than using a spacer

New to the forum. Just picked up a 98 Expedition. 171,500 miles. I bought it mainly to go back and forth to the hardware store. We don't get much snow, but I would like to take it on the beach. Currently it has a heater core problem. My last truck was a 97 Flareside. It, too, had a heater core problem. I went for two years without heat before I hit the bullet and had it repaired. This one I want to do myself. I will someplace the dash lights with LESs and install a new stereo. Lots of work to do.
