Ford Expedition

Which Expedition has the air ride suspension. I am looking to buy 2000-02 Expedition EB w/ 4wd and would like to know how to deternine which one has this type of suspension. I would like to avoid this type. Thanks for the input.

Look underneath the vehicle at the rear coil springs. If there's a bag in the center of the springs it has air suspension.

I thought that if it had air suspension there were no coil springs on the rear. All you would have is the bags.

This is correct, just air bags.

I think this came on most if not all of the newer Eddie Bauer Editions. You might be better off looking at XLT's. The 2001-02 XLT models were availible with leather and a sunroof so not much options difference between them and the EB version.

Pardon me! I was more or less referring to the location where springs would be since the OP didn't have an idea what to look for, and most anybody knows where springs should be.

Like the others said the easiest way to find out if it has air suspension is to just look in the back for air bags. You could also check the Vin, I don't which number it would be off the top of my head. Either way its not hard to find out.
