Exclamation Hello everybody in this site!! i am new to this!!

hello everybody!! my name is Jonathan and i am deaf.

i am here to ask some question about lift kit for my wife 02 ford expedition 2wd and is 4.6l.

i ve reached some lift kit in here for expedition

i still dont understand and confusing about spindle.

i see some of you guys use 4wd spindle on the 2wd expedition so i went ahead and check my wife suv and she have a point out spindle like this



so when you want to lift with 4wd spindle like this



so how will it works with out point out thing on 2wd?

because i am plan to lift 3.5 to 6" lift in the front and 3'-5.5 lift in the rear in the 4wd kit.


also my question is.... 2wd 3.5 lift spindle with 2.5 level spring in the front. will it work and flip the sway bar in different direction. for the rear add 3" spacer and 3" spring?

or use 5.5 spindle from 02 f150 off ebay the brand are spring tech. is it worth it or?

please correct me if ii am wrong or anything. i will nee your big help! many thanks

4wd stuff wont work for you.

id say either get a full on lift kit with drop down crossmembers or do 3.5" spindles and 2"coils look into doetsch ones also theyre alot better quality than the springtech ones

I agree. Also, you could add a 3 inch body lift. They are pretty inexpensive and work great on our body style.

you cant do both a 3.5' spindle and 3' spring in front with out new uca's. you need to stay at a 2" coil.

lightning expo has the 6" rear coils on his but he had some good rake with just the coils in rear and the 5.5" up front till he got the fabtech 7.5" kit.

youll probably get 33's unless you do a body lift.

one option that will be cheaper is 3" BL, 3.5" spindles and then somethan in the rear and 35"s
