Lifting my expedition need advice :::1st truck
hey fellas!
oK so i just got my truck/suv whateevr
1998 eddie bauer expedition 4x4 5.4L v8 call it "the hulk"
cuz it big green and ugly...for now
and we want to lift it and were not rich
so i was thinking about a body lift
but theres a few problems i noticed
1.My expy has LLs not sure if its a problem or not for lifting
2.they only let u lift the rear with blocks???? what about the front/??
3.how much does it cost to have it installed??? me and my bud can wrench on cars but i never lifted n e thing
4.will the truck be less stable/safe with a body lift
actually wanna take this thing off road
5. i always want to do a suspension lift later on maybe a few years down the road so i can i do both????
comon guys help a brotha out

well a body lift will make it roll more it turns. you will also have other issues. brake lines to short, the radiator will be high than stock and the fan will hit the shroud and the bumpers will be low an look stupid. suspension lift you use thicker springs in the rear and blocks the front requires a lot more.
