18-20 Ford Expedition 4WD Fabtech FTL5211 1.5in Leveling System

Fabtech FTL5211 1.5" Leveling System for 2018–2020 Ford Expedition 4WD (Part # FTL5211)

The Fabtech FTL5211 1.5″ leveling system delivers an instant visual and functional upgrade for the Ford Expedition. By raising the front end, it corrects the factory nose-down stance—creating a balanced, confident profile—while also accommodating larger tire-and-wheel combos for an aggressive, adventurous look. Engineered with precision, this kit preserves factory ride and handling, even on models fitted with Ford’s Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) shocks. Installation is straightforward with standard hand tools and bolts only—no drilling, cutting, or permanent mods. When the time comes for a bigger lift, Fabtech’s exclusive Trade-Up program enables credit toward a full 4" or 6" suspension system.
