i posted about a month ago with questions about lifting a air ride eddie baur 4x4 expedition evidently nobodies done it ha or at least with a fabtech kit.

only bad's were
kit shocks on the front wouldnt match up with the front shock hoops
so i had to weld plates in 4" lower than the original shock hoop

the traction bars that mount to the tortion bar drop brackets and the second crossmember underneath the front differential were 8" short so i extended them

and the rear air bags to swap to coil's all i need were some upper coil spring isolators about 40 bucks on rock auto.com

will post more pics later but for now heres a few.

YES!!

Perfect timing on those photos as I'm putting the same combo on my '98 EB. Looks great !!

What was your price with install?

Are you going to re-gear as well?

Thanks for all the compliments.
till this day i dont know why i didnt get 38's ha im kicking myself for it.
it didnt cost me anything ha did it myself.
well except youll need coil spring isolators some parts you dont have on air ride suspension.

and re gearing? um if i get 38's maybe 4.56's i dunno though they seem kinda drastic to me.

but as for now. im getting a deck soon but ive got my 4 jbl power series 12"'s in and it knocks.

after my deck im thinking 22x14's

you got anymore recent pics? i am thinking of doing the same thing to mine. the only thing holding me back is my brushguard and my hidden winch mount as far as the BL is concerned. wanna upgrade from my 4" to the 6".
