I have a buddy that owns a Navi that wants to lift it about 4". I need to know if the Navi/Exp suspentions are the same and if a kit for a Exp will fit a Navi.

Thanks in avance for your help

 

YES, they are the same.

Go to the suspension room where the guys know that;'s their specialty and have done hours of research on suspension.

The F150s are the same as the Expy; just like the excursion is the same as the F250.


So if someone has an F150 then you already know its like the SUV version. lf its the 4x4 then you know its the 4x4 of that version.. Follow me?

 

If your buddy's Expy/Navi is a 03 or newer, there is no such lift kit available yet. I've been searching and have only found a 2" Daystar front and rear set thus far. All of the 4x4 shops in my area tell me there is no body lift out yet either, but they are hoping for one by the spring.

While we're on the subject, does anyone know what the maximum tire size that would fit on an 04 Expy if I install the 2" lift spacers? I'm thinking 33" but my wife really wants 35's.

 

THe stock 265/70-17's are basically a 32x10.50 so I'm sure 33's would clear easily. I bet if you use the 2.5 Daystar lift and the stock wheels, you could fit 35x12.50's.

 

Thanks again Wandell. A buddy of mine put a 3" Body lift on his 2000 Expy and fit 35's but they look tight. He says they don't rub. I just assumed that 35's with a 2-2.5" spacer lift I would have to trim. I guess I'll just have to try it out. I'm putting 35's on my F150 so I'll just put them on hers for a day and go from there.

 

how much did it cost him to do it on his expy?

 

BB123 - I think he spent about $900 for the body lift, installed, with gap guards. He said they charged that much because they had to remove all the seats and pull back the carpet to get at the bolt heads.

 

you have an awesome wife!!

 

Yes I do! The only complaint I have is when I want to do a mod to my truck, she says sure as long as I do to hers . . . gets kinda expensive.
