What do you guys think? If I stay lifted, I,m going to add fender flares and change the wheels. If I go back to the Lightning wheels and take the BL off, Ill save money and obviously mpg.
My current set up





Or take 3" off and put Lightnings back on

 

I need some feedback guys

 

Do you off road much?

 

No. There might be an occasional beach trip but nothing that would "justify" the set up now. Its the look I have always preferred in my trucks/suvs.

 

Wow, that a hard one, if it was 2tone color i would have said lift but, you dont see many expo with those set of Lightnings wheel neither! flip a coin?
Also how do you get your paint to look like that?SO SHINY! if only my driveway wasnt made of dirt

 

your worried about mpg in an expy? LOL... but my choice is keep BL since it is gonna be a PITA to change back to stock... better off selling it and buying a new project to make "sporty" IMO... but again it is just that my .02

 

5.4T, I have always been extremely **** about the cleanliness of my cars. My wife used to get irritated about it, however now she kind of expects hers to be done @ least every week. Clay bar, cleaner wax, polish wax every 3 months. Quick detail spray wax after every wash and kept under a carport. My wife gets 1/2 of the garage and the kids have the other 1/2, but thank you on the compliment.
Pretty much decided to stay lifted. My mind changes too much

 

keep her as she lies currently IMO. going down in height makes it look like every other run of the mill Expy from that body generation

 

You are right Tylus and thanks for the reply. Keeping it lifted, but going to change the wheels when I can. Fender flares in the future as well

 

Keep it lifted. Any lifted Expy is rare.

 

Doing just that. Going to change a few things in the future[wheels and add fender flares], but the lift and tire size stays.

 

Did you color the front grille? also i didnt notice you had a 98" please tell me you painted your expo,its to good to be a 98!!!Most people i know dont take care of these trucks kinda sad i actully know 2 people that still drive them without servicing and still run!!!

also,I might try to wax her but im kinda scared with water,heat and windows becuase not to long ago i got on my expo and turned on my a/c and CRACK went my windshield, and sence that happend i stop washing my truck...any advice?

 

I'm feeling those Lightning wheels. That looks sharp especially with the truck in silver. Keep them but put some 35s on it.

 

5.4, thanks again. Its the original paint. I bought this one in 04 with 90k on it. Always a NC car. I lifted it and went all out then sold it to m father after putting it back to stock. I just got it back about 3 months ago and started in on it again. Its far from show quality, but for 12 years old, its in very good shape. No rust or "major" scratches or dents. Yes, the grill has been painted, about 5 years ago. I had Bushwacker FF on it and painted the that same shade of gray. Seat covers are silver/dark gray, so that is kind of the theme. The grill has to be repainted and the FF are still to come.

Fat Nick, the Lightnings do look great[and thank you] For a short time, I was going to go all out with the Lightning theme, drivetrain, front bumper etc. What you see is about as far as I got before changing my mind again. I just turned 119k miles, so it will be around for a while.

I did not have any luck selling the Welds Im running now, so Im sticking with the lifted theme. Thanks again for the replies

 

2/3 drop on L rims.
