lifted 2004 expedition question
#18
OK, today we installed the 3" front 2" rear lift and bolted up the 35" 1250's. DID NOT WORK. major tire rub on the front lock to lock. The wheel offset is right. Now Im looking for a 3" body lift that sould make everything right. The truck looks great with the tires just cant drive it in a straiaght line always LOL. problem is I cant find a body lift for 2004 Expy.......anyone have any ideas?

How'd it work?
Did you do the body lift? And was it worth the effort? Any pics?

Thought I'd list my experience too. I have a 04' Expy EB 4wd. I just installed 315/70/17 BFG's under the stock suspension, no lift. I love them, it looks great. The spare 315 just barely fits in the stock location.
I used the factory 17" wheels to allow the backspacing to keep the wheels under the fender. This means less of an arc for the wheels to travel when turning and avoid contact with the edges of the fenders.
The tire guy thought I was crazy when i took him the wheels to swap out. He just kept saying, "You have 265's!"

Looking to lift my 2006 XLT with the ReadyLift SST and from what I understand, the rubbing you experienced would be cured with a little trimming of the front fender and removal (or trimming) of the side steps.
My big debate is which shocks to replace my old 120K+ stockers with "while I'm in there"...
