EXP lift?

Thinking about twisting the front bars tighter and trying to find some rear coil spacers to raise my 98 Expedition. Anyone done similiar? Where did you get the spacers? Available? Shocks an issue? Like it? THANKS

Sadly you won't find a whole lot of info regarding lifting Expy's. Their frames and suspension design makes it a difficult at best proposition, and the cost involved in all the cutting and welding usually scares most people away. I have only seen a few kits ever for this and they all clearly stated that alot of fabrication was involved.

That's why I was only looking for a couple of inches with the tightening of the torsion bars and leveling the rear with coil spacers...know of anyone making/selling the spacers?? Thanks for the reply

Will tightening the torsion bar really add any signifigant inches to the clearance?

I would think some generic spring pocket spacers would work,....or maybe not, I would need to look at it again......

I gained over 3 and a half inches with an '01 chevy hd by twisting the front end like that. I am hoping for maybe 2" out of the expedition. Any idea of a source for the "generic" spacers?
