Just got the lift installed and new tires. I’m happy with the outcome! Should have come from the factory like this.

Rmcculloch,
how does your truck sit now? How does it ride? Do you think the rear is slightly lower than the front?

Hi Everyone. This is my first post ever. I have been studying this thread for several weeks as I wanted to give my 2014 Expedition EL Limited a facelift. After much thought, I got the Ready Lift 1.5" Leveling Kit. My truck has the Mechanical Rear Load Leveling Suspension and I didn't want to mess around with those Nivomat shocks so I left it alone. I had the 20" chrome clad wheels professionally sanded, painted, and clear coated. At that time, I also had everything blacked out that was chrome except for the door handles. The tires are BFG All-Terrain KO2s sized at 305/55R20. I thought I would share the current look since I got so much inspiration here. Thanks!

How did you "black out" everything else like the grill? Do you drive this offroad? I have the same car exactly.

How do I know if I have the "air" rear suspension that prohibits these lifts?

If u have air suspension, you will have a pump mounted in the inside of the rear compartment...

[Dannyboy11222]

Yep, it will have a separate area like the cargo area

Believe me, if your equipped with air ride, you can't miss it...

YOu mean it is visible in the cargo area? Or I have to remove a panel or cover? Anybody got a photo of this thing?

Easiest way, look under the rear. Aluminum coffee cans sitting where you'd expect to see shocks/coils = air suspension.

2nd easiest, press the SETUP button until you see Rear Air Suspension. Don't see it? Not equipped.

The compressor is in the engine compartment, up front, so yeah, you'll miss it in the rear.

If you do have the rear air suspension, you can get some lift by extending the leveling arm thingy.

F-150 or expedition 5100s? There’s a difference. If F-150, what height setting did you use and what did you do to the rear?

Nice. What lift do you have? Or is it all shock? I like the tires, too.

I’m guessing 5100s up front and either stock with a Readylift spacer or 4600s with spacer for the rear. Can’t put 5100s on the rear and can’t top the 5100s up front with any type of spacer

5100s front and rear.. No spacers... that's what they gave me at 4 wheel parts..
2 different item number front 24-285056
Rear 24-285053. Once they installed the new tires the back looks at least 1inch taller... have to go back to see if it could be adjusted to have it level...
