Thinking of buying a 97-2000 Expedition.

I am in need of a new tow vehicle and my wife really likes the Expedition, I dont care, as long as it is a Ford. I wanted a F250 or F350 Diesel, but the poor thing would just sit there and I think the Expedition will be driven more. I have heard from a few people that the 5.4 is the one to get for towing. My only downside now is I have heard the suspension is scary unstable. This is the thing that worries me since I will only drive it for tow and my wife and son will be in it more. I am not fimiliar with these things, but I imagine there has to be something to help the handling. I dont want to lower it, maybe a SMALL SMALL SMALL lift if anything. Just want a comfy ride. What is there to do to make it more stable?

I have a 98 Eddie Bauer expy and the ride and stability is great, however mine has the Air ride system. In 2wd it sits a little lower than a 4wd expy with out the air system and then when 4wd is activated is raises up 2-3 inches. It also auto levels itself when a load is on it. Very nice for towing. I have no complaints about it. Handles and rides excellent

I have a 2000 4X4 Expedition without the air ride. I have not experienced any stability problems. I feel she handles really well.
