I want to lift my 2004 Edge but I dont know where to start. if you guys could get me headed in the right direction as far as what kind of kit to buy and what to do that would be great. also if i did lift it would it look too funny rolling around on my stock wheels and tires.

 

its a 4x2 and its all stock except for my flowmaster exhaust and i also removed the air silencer and i blacked out the tail lights. i've been reading up on body lifts but i dont know if that is the right choice to go with and if its something i could do on my own or if its best to take it and have it profesionally installed. i mainly use my truck to tow around my dirt bikes but i want to give it a more agressive look by lifting it.

 

procomp spindle lift and deaver rear springs, and some longer procomp shocks in the back....get it got it good

 

are spindles still a body lift. i was looking at suspension max and notices that there lift kit was different from the one 4 wheels parts sells.

 

no spindles are a suspention lift you have a 2wd DONT go with a body they look crappy compare to a spindle.

 

is suspension max a good way to go with the spindle lift kit or is there some one else i should go through to pruchase the kit

 

Camburg Lift

Pro-comp lift

 

are these kits easy to install on your own or should i have them intalled professionally. if i got a 3" lift would it look funny if i still drove around with my stock wheels and tires.

 

SuspensionMax is the Doetsch spindles. Got mine from there and they're great but ALL spindles require some grinding of your lower a-arm and freeing up the brake lines for more movement, etc. Make sure you understand what's required by reading the installation posts on the board here. All the different spindles have been covered to some extent I do believe.

The Doetsch spindles are different in that you can run stock backspaced wheels with them with no problem.

I've posted a lot on my install, but I did the rear myself and make up a custom 31 spline axle (FX4 31 spline axle with 4.56 gears and electric locker) while I was at it -- but I had "professional" help in the form of mechanic friends. Putting a lift on is definitely something you need the right tools and time for. They are NOT a simple bolt on, any spindles.

 

if i get the spindle lift will that keep my truck level or will that only lift the front

 

Spindles lift the front only. The "kits" they sell also have "blocks" which you insert between the spring and the axle to lift the rear. But spindles alone lift the front only.

 

newbie alert!!!!!!

def go with spindles...body lifts will lift u up in appearance, but the frame's still at the stock height....

 

thanks for all the help on the lift kit. suspension max is near my house so im gonna try to get it done sometime this month.
