Has anyone know which air rid suspension fits on a Expedition? I have a 2016
Looking hard for what might fit but not having much luck.

What does Air Ride have to do with lifted 3rd Gens?
Start a new thread please, and I am sure some people will respond. Welcome to the forum.

I would like to lift my truck with air suspension.
My idea is to have a 3-6 in lift and be able to lower it in order to still fit in the garage.

I don’t know about air but the biggest possible lift for the suspension on a ford expedition with independent suspension all the way around is 3 1/2 inches. I got 5 inches out of mine with the 3 1/2 inch suspension lift and a 1 1/2 inch body lift

x2 in this... with my 5” lift I clear 37s with minimal cutting

Interesting. My 3/2 allowed 35s but Im probably going to get some 3/8” spacers to move the wheels off the UCA at full lock

Look at the height I got out of my 3" Strut spacer and new struts. Is it me or did I somehow get 5 to 6 inches total? When I look at other pics of 3 inch lifted expys mine seems taller.

Did you do anything to your upper control arm? Does it rest on your springs? I need to fix my camber issue. I honestly think its because im a non 4x4 truck.
No, with the new spacers they sit at a different angle but have plenty of clearance between them and the springs. Full extension they just barely touch but I dont do anything where the truck suspension would ever be at full extension.

So when you did your lift, did you replace your shocks?
I only have 35k on my vehicle and I plan on doing the same leveling kit you used, ReadyLift 3/2, so I would like to use my existing shocks, what do you think?
No, I did not replace the shocks only because my truck at the time had like 10,000 miles on it so I didn’t see that as necessary. I’m not sure how long of a lifespan OEM shocks have but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to look into that. Options are to either buy a shock/spring assembly or compress the springs and replace just the shocks. I installed the lift in my dad’s driveway in about 4 hours. Check out my thread

Geez that is the sexiest 3rd gen I’ve ever seen. Very clean and very nice simple murdered look. I’m a big believer in “less is more”. Love your taste.

2 things....
1. Any pics of lofted third gens with aftermarket step bars? Mine had power boards from the factory, but were replaced with the ugly running boards sometime before I bought it. I’d love the power ones, and yeah, I know they’re problematic. I would do away with them all together, but I hate watching friends and family yank at my interior to try to climb in. Apparently it’s a struggle.
2. Anyone runnings spacers on the stock 20’s? Or spacers period? I really want to push my wheels out an inch or two. I think it looks so good with that little bit of Tire/wheel hanging out of the wheel well. Mine are completely inside right now. I’m nervous about spacers though, tons of bad stories related to them it seems like.
