I love the look! And would give a bit more clearance for the tires. I'd have to get my bumper mount redone since it's mounted directly to the frame. Hmmmm... or just deal with the gap and a little reshaping.

I see... thanks, StheP! So what all did you end up having to modify to get everything to work? Hope you don't mind me asking all the questions :).
And yes like he said, it’s basically anything on the body goes up and anything in the frame stays down. That’s the reason I did only a 1.5”. Frame and chassis grounds are fine, bumpers have a tiny bit of stress but they’re fine, fan shroud was cut a tiny bit, fuel tank neck is fine, tranny lines, brake lines, abs lines, all fine as well, and the respective linkages

Thanks, Gruz!

I was wondering why Natalie asked me about the body lift. Makes total sense now... thank you!

When does the bumper arrive? Can't wait to see it on your Expy!!

Thanks! And about 6 weeks after thanksgiving, (I’m placing my order on Black Friday to save 10%) but I’m very excited I got the same one you have but opted for a small stinger bar on I‎t too and I‎t will be all black. I’ll be sure to link up with you if I have questions during my install lol

Well I got to drive through my first blizzard with the Expedition headed up for a weekend in the mountains. In hind sight I don't recommend 37/13.5 mud tires, but I never lost traction that I couldn't recover easily with experience.

Also learnt that LED's in halogen housings blow, swapped back on the side of the mountain.

Got a lot of attention driving around the village.

Also finally updated the back power ports, going to run the toggle to some lights I'm installing in the rear hatch.

Hi STP,
When you state that the LEDs in halogen housings "blow", do you mean they actually failed or that they just suck?


Love the power port setup, looks slick.

They throw to much light up and it made visibility crap in a snow storm, normally you can kinda see past them, but when every single one is light up and super visible you can't see shit.

Look at how the led's sit in relation to the housing.

I have a set and love them. Then again, it's not throwing light against a huge reflector (the snow).
