@Expy_Tac What was your gas mileage before and after the lift?

Did you change your shocks? How did your mpg do afterwards? Did you think it changed the quality of the smooth ride much?Hi all. First time posting on the forum. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted info and pics of their rigs. After a lot of time spent on this thread specifically, I finally decided on this setup for my ‘17 Expy XLT 4x4:
ReadyLift 3/2 kit
18x9 wheels with +18 offset
33” tires (275/70R18) BFG KO2
There is plenty of room for a larger tire but already had the BFGs. I’m planning to go to with 295/70R18 when it’s time to replace tires.
Thanks again to all who added their insight in this and other related threads. It really helped narrow down the options.

ReadyLift 69-2070 3.0'' Front with 2.0'' Rear SST Lift Kit
Cooper DISCOVERER AT3 XLT LT295/70R18 E 129S Tire
(34.25 x 12)
Raised it 4”
Minor rubbing but I will correct that with trimming or as a last resort Bora wheel spacers
I couldn’t be more happy with the new look of my Expedition.
Looks like a different vehicle.
Haven’t tested the tires off-road yet but the road noise is zero.
Only put less than 50 miles on it so far. Mostly around town and a quick trip down the highway.
I am seeing a -2 mpg drop off in that short distance.
The ride is vastly improved as well.
Here is one before pic and the rest is what it is now.

is it just me or does the damn exhaust system coming out of the rear of these things kill the lifted look??
ugh.
