Post Does the Belltech kit work??

I was wondering, after seeing a few guys with pickups with the Belltech 3/4 drop kit, will this work on our Expeditions?? They sell it at the online store for about the right price, so does it work?? And what else, after the kit, can i get to lower my Expedition even more (no money for airbags yet).

I installed the Belltech 2/2 kit. Progressive springs and Nitro-Active shocks.
Works fine for me, doesn't look slammed if that's what you're after.

For a 3in front and 4in rear drop, coils would be needed. You would have to use 3in Bell Tech coils up front and DJM coils in the rear. I bagged mine and have this setup if you want to purchase. BTW" the L's do not use coils in the rear.

Have a 3/4 Bell Tech on my 00 HD. Had a noise that I couldn't figure out, until I had the S/C installed. Told them I had a slight vibration around 18 to 20 MPH and then it quit. It was the drive shaft hitting the cross member, they shimmed the axle (after replacing the bent drive shaft) and it has been fine since. The people who originally installed the system evidentyly didn't know nor did they make good on the $400 + for the cost of replacing the drive shaft. Be sure and watch the angle of the drive.

The Expedition suspension has a link rear not a leaf spring. Completely different rear suspension then the f150 etc models.
