Lifted Expedition
Hey folks,
Just thought I'd post a few pics of my 99 Expedition, which I just got lifted. The pictures don't do it much justice though.
[img src=""]
I didn't go over the top, & get it lifted to high.
It has a 4" lift & 33" tires.

Handles a bit differently now, but she can still move.

John, those are the OEM 16 x 7.0 rims.
Spike, Your truck looks great! Are those 33s equal to 285/75-16 or 295/75-16? Most tire dealers around here bulk at putting bigger tires on stock rims. Did you tire dealer give you any flack?

Thanks Petrol, that's what I thought and I also wondered about getting larger tires on stock rims....

Hey folks,
I wrote a nice long post yesterday, but it wouldn't post, so here goes again.
Like Petrol said, they are the factory 16" rims.
I thought with spending a load of money on a lift & new tires, I'd at least try & save a little money, by keeping the factory rims for the moment.
They tires are the 285-75 R16, which equates to 33"
The only thing I don't like, is the tires don't stick out very much, making the truck look a bit narrow.
This will save the paint work on the side of my truck from stone chips though.
I actually got the tires on the truck a week before I got the lift. The tires looked pretty cool just like that, as it filled in those empty wheel wells. And no rubbing at all.
One problem I do have now is, each time I look at my truck I keep thinking maybe I should go a little bigger with the tires
jcb67 --- The rain deflectors are by Ventashield (I think)
They were the only thing already on the truck when I got her last September. They are 3m tape by the looks of it, but they seem to be stuck pretty solid.
kwb377 --- Yeah it is 4x4
Petrol --- No the tire dealer didn't say anything about putting them on the factory rims. He actually suggested the tires, as he has some on his Superduty.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Jun-02 AT 05:49 PM (EST)]Stupid question, do you have to put a lift on the expy when putting on larger tires? or is it just that larger tires fill the wheel well??

Once you contract the dreaded 'liftitus maximus' it's hard to control yourself!

I have 315/75-16's on my expy. The wheels are Enkei 16x8's. I had them on the stock wheels for a while, but they were really just too wide. I have no lift! I would like one though, 3 or 4" would be perfect! I have no rubbing, I had to trim the front bumper valance to make keep it from rubbing there though. I have considered a 3" body lift, any suggestions?
