    Installed Bilstein 5100's - thoughts, impressions, lessons learned

    I was not a fan of the stock suspension on my 17 Ford Expedition Limited. Had a few ass puckering moments going over rough pavement and decided to upgrade to Bilstein 5100's, based on opinions on this site. I decided to take on this project myself as it looked so easy on the youtube video's...

    Schocks yet

    I went with the 5100's - which provide adjustable height. I am not currently towing anything but hated the stock suspension. It will definitely raise the back end - even at stock setting. I ended up adding a 2" front lift kit as I set the front at stock also. While I could go back and adjust the...

    2017 vs 2018 front struts??

    I have a 2017 Limited 4WD and bought new 5100 Bilsteins. I was watching a few youtube video's on installation and seemed straight forward. When I got into the front wheel the struts were not the 2017 set up but the newer version 2018. The mounting bolts on the bottom are different - 2 coming up...

    SPC upper Control Arms - anyone?

    I found a build by Mount Zion Off Road of a 2017 Expedition and they added Bilstein 5100's and SPC upper control arms. These are adjustable and apparently help with alignment. Anyone installed these on their Expedition? I sent them a note to get their reasoning for adding them. Here is the...

    New Bilstein front & rear shocks on 4th Gen Expedition - new answers with experience

    I just purchased the 5100's for my 17. I saw a build on Mount Zion Off Road of a 2017 build with Bilstein 5100's and also SPC upper control arms. I'm curious about the addition of the upper control arms. I sent them a note on their build to get their reasoning. Will let you know what I find.

    2017 Off-Road build - Phase 1 - The Basics

    The vehicle: 2017 Ford Expedition Limited 4WD. Purchased 1 year ago. 80K miles. Background: I am retired (age 70). I am bored. I need a project. I just retired from motorcycles after 35 years of riding due to failing eye sight. Off-road, on road, racing, cross country, etc. Basically everything...

    Power Stop drilled and slotted full kit with calipers

    I have been thinking about the same thing. I see you went with the tow version. I was thinking about the sport version as I really don't do any towing. Not sure what the difference is between the two. I'll try and find out

    Metallic wheel touch up paint found

    I would guess yes. I haven't tried to match anything other than the wheel but they seem similar colors. I have a similar grill color as well as side mirror covers.

    Metallic wheel touch up paint found

    I was looking for touch up paint for my 2017 Expedition wheels - which are the dark grey. No luck on forum and no luck at dealer - they said Ford does not make a touch up paint for wheels. I went to Auto Zone and found Dupli-Color Perfect Match in "Magnetic" that matches the wheel color. It is...

    My Key deletion

    I did the same thing and have the same question. For some reason MyKey only allows radio volume to go to 14. I want to delete all of this
