    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...

    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...

    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...

    Wheel paint color?

    I've searched through the threads and could not find anything on the paint code for my 2017 wheels - they are the dark grey metallic. I have some rash I want to touch up. I saw Magnetic Metallic as a color for the body and wonder if this is the same color. I am looking for a touch up pen or...

    Suspension issues??

    I just picked up a 2017 Expedition Limited and I am having some really wonky suspension issues. It has 82K miles and in pristine condition. I first noticed that it really wallowed over bumps, meaning it was like a trampoline in terms of the bounce. Then after going over some rough pavement on...

    Override TPM warning light?

    When I switched wheels on my 2010 they did not come with the tire pressure monitors so I have a constant fault message. I can hit reset to make message go away but tire pressure warning light stays on. Any way to override this?
