Lifting a 2WD Expy?

What are the options for lifting my 2000 2wd EB Expedition? I don't really care for body lifts, but I am only looking for about 2 1/2 - 3" of lift, just to make it look like the 4wd version. I have seen coil spacers, spindles, and full-on replacement control arms and springs. What is the "right" way to lift one of these? Cost is a consideration, but I don't want it to fall apart the first time I go off-road. Also, what do I do about my rear LLS? Any help appreciated - I am taking over my wife's kidmobile and I need to butch it up a bit.

There is nothing wrong with lifting a 4x2. That is why there are so many lift kits available. All of the options you mentioned are fine. I'm not sure what you can do about the LLS however.

I think BigTruck did a lift on a LLS Expy, and he said they had to do some surgery to get the kit to fit right, look around and talk to some shops....
