this would be interesting? do you have a reference or a link that could educate me on completing this?

It's simply the 2014+ Expedition rear LL suspension. They are now hydraulic with no mechanical ties to the body other then the mounts. Below is a complete list of everything including the springs and mounting hardware, personally I would not reuse any suspension bolts even though they are not torque to yield.

First that has ever been mentioned

Yep...I'm all about tech as I've said before. This is a direct swap I forgot to mention before, this will work on all 2007 plus expeditions with or without load leveling.

Old post I know but I'm wondering if any member has done the swap to factory rear load-leveling shocks and springs? While I was shopping for a new truck we drove a 2014 Limited that had this option and I was frankly amazed by the ride quality in that truck. It wasn't quite as good as newer 2015-17 vehicles with CCD suspension but it was close! Air ride was no longer an option in 2014 so I'm guessing what I experienced in this truck was due to the OEM mechanical load-leveling shocks as they are hydraulic (the regular shocks are gas-charged).

I still remember "back in the day" when cars had a smooth but "floaty" ride they rode on hydraulic shock absorbers. Once gas shocks became common ride "harshness" increased and you could feel all the little bumps in the road.
