'04 2WD Expedition Lift Kit ideas?

I've searched in vane for a 3 or 4" lift kit for my Expedition. The only thing I've found is the Skyjacker or ProComp 2" spacers.

I'm looking for ideas, anybody?

Might be able to do an add a leaf system, or lift blocks like you found.

I've been thinking about geting a 4" Rancho truck lift for the front and a 2.5" Daysar for the rear for my 03. I think it would sit level because of the rear being high to begin with.

Right now I have a 2.5" spacer in the front that I bought on eBay and I am only using the strut spacer of a daystar lift in the rear for about 1.25" of lift (not using the coil spacer). It's still seems a little high in the rear. But it does look better then 2.5" in the rear.

I did the daystar front and rear plus went to 33" tires. I picked up a total of 3.5" (measured at the wheel well lip). Looks a lot better, but no quite enough.

I'm thinking of adding another strut spacer on each corner for a little bit of help.

The '04 has the IRS so I can't use any kind of off the shelf lift kit.

My 03 is also IRS. The only off the shelf lift I have found is at http://rizeind.com/ I've heard that Full throttle suspension also has one but it's not listed on there website.

In the front I think if you stack the spacers you may have problems with the spindle contacting the spring. The rear may bind the cv joints up.

With your Daystar lift does it sit level?

With the daystar my Expy is level. Actually the front is about 1/4" higher but it's not noticable.
