Yes definetly torsion bars have got to go. its strange that no one makes lowered spindles for the 4wd like the chevy ones.

It took me nearly 6 months to find a 2wd expo up here in canada, their all 4wd. Damn snow.

 

Well I guess more people mod Tahoe's then Expeditions thats why. I have a friend that has a 2000 2wd Expo with a bad motor and he is looking to get rid of it. He wants too much money for it but bagging my truck would be so much easier with a 2wd frame under it.

If that deal doesn't happen I'm thinking of fitting the suspension from an 06 Expedition to my truck. This way I would eliminate the torsion bars and use Ride Techs Shock Waves in the front. I'm not looking to lay frame, I just want to sit it on the tires at shows.

Heres how mine currenlt sits, it settled another 1/4" in the front and 1/2" in the back.

 

i approve lol

 

thanks expedition4x4, btw your Nav is bagged right? whats your setup?

Looks like I have decided on regular bags up front for the air bag set up. I was wavering on getting shickwaves but the thought of the weight of the truck on what was supposed to be the shock allone just didnt sit right with me. Yes I know theres lots of them out there. Blah blah blah. But my trucks a daily driver and it would bother me every time I drive it.

 

Thanks for the pic it looks pretty level? Can u give me a measurement on the front and rear of the running board that way i will know for sure.

 

ydopen5.4, will do. trucks at home today so I'll get the measurements tonight.

 

ydopen5.4 Heres the info for you



Little hard to read but from left to right (front to back) the measurements are.

29.75" 6.25" 6.5" 28.75"

 

And just so we're clear. This is what the expo should be at next spring when I get everything together.

 

no use for the running boards now i guess

 

you have any rubbing with the 275-45-20s?

 

we'll see about the running boards lol.

As for rubbing, there is 0. Both lock to lock.

 

Damn, cold weathers really coming in now here so mods will be slowing down unless I can get some time in the install bay. I am hoping to still in stall the bulk of the rest of the stereo in its first generation to tide me over as I build the second. Also i will be installing a remote start and GPS tracking next week.

Oh and I put my stock rims with snow tires back on yesterday and wow do they feel weird! Looks very strange too.

 

Thanks for the good pics and info!! I just ordered some 4in rear drop spings, If the rear sits to low i will just lower the front more LOL

 

my 3/3 is prety low and kinda rough.

Really its Temp till I get all the Air Suspension parts together.

Oh and looks like I'll be doing some mods sooner than I anticipated, the kids rear racing car seat has rubbed a hole in the back of the passenger headrest. *DANGNABBIT*
But that means the seat goes forward facing now and the head rest monitors goin in as well. Oh darn lol.
