hey guys new to the pourms i have a 97 expedition 4x4 and i want to get some bigger meats on it. im looking to clear a 33 12.50 but i dont want to dump a ton of money into it. i have been reading about different ways. i dont want to do i body lift if i dont need to and most of the suspension lifts are 1200 and up any suggestions im new to the expos but not new to the tortion front end i had 3 nissans befor this.

 

for 33's all you will need is to crank your torsion bars up.

Just get under your truck and locate the torsion bar adjustment keys. Once you find them you can begin.

measure the truck and mark the spot that you measured from

1. jack the front of the truck off the ground
2. place jack stands for saftey
3. Mark the adjustment bolt, so you can accurately gauge the amount of turns.
4. turn both bolts equally, id start out with 3 turns each.
5. lower the truck off the jack
6. drive around the block make sure the suspension cycles (going over speed bumps works)
7. now measure again from the same spot you measured from before.
8. Get an alignment

you can clear a 33x12.5 on an aftermarket wheel with 4.5" of back spacing (or use your stock wheels)

 

RIght. You can fit 33x12.50's at stock height. If you mount them on a 10 inch wide wheel you will have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

 

Thinks for the replys guys it helped im not quite ready yet to do anything but im gonna need new tires in a couple months and i thought i would start looking around on what i could do
