If you mean a full suspension lift kit, then no, there isn't. Some F-150 front kits will work, since the front ends are very similar, but the rear is IRS, and nobody wants to touch that. I went through this several months ago, called all around, and went to every suspension company truck at the CORR races. Nobody wants to put the R&D cost into it since 99% of Expy's are street driven grocery getters. There is a company out of El Cajon, CA called Rize Industries who has made an 8" full -on suspension lift for this truck, but I don't think they have decided to go into full production yet. As of January this year they still hadn't decided to release it. Go to their website (rizeind(dot)com) and there are some pics of the truck, it's pretty awesome looking! Who knows, maybe they have decided to release it. Let me know what they say.
For now I just went with the TRUXXX spacer kit (3" front - 2" rear) and 33" tires, and i am content for now, but I am always willing to go up...

Nope, this thread got me curious again, so I called and they still have not released it yet. The front is done because it's the same as the F-150 kit, but the rear is still a few months out. The entire kit F/R is about $4300 and then you gotta find someone to install it. So look at about $6500 when you all done. Then you will need wheels and tires, so add another $2000.
Luckily I've already got the wheels/tires, but $6500 for an 8" lift, wow! Hopefully it will either get really popular and they will drop the price a bit, or they will not sell at all and I can get one on clearance later this year for a deal.
