me too... ROFLMAO... I kinda wanna see if you enjoy it as much as I have been... almost filled up with 93 octane and tried "level 3" but I didn't... although its only a few more bucks I'm saving all my extra cash and hope to have a boat in the next week or so.... nothing fancy just a nice boat to use on lake ontario and st. lawarence river.... I'll post pics if I get it... so no new toys for expy for a while... gonna need boat toys...:p:p

In your opinion, the CS over the SCT? I have only run the Superchips and it is no help for the 98 on adjustment for bigger tires. Im back and forth but you put up a strong side for the CS

97 and 98 expys and f150s have to have a new gear installed into the speedo... thats what I had to get done for my old 97 f150 on 38s... so for that no difference... but i did tons of research before i ordered and I went with the edge based on reviews I read on different ford forums


and boat season is far from over... hell still 2 months away from the Salmon running in the river... so that equals to cheaper boats since people don't wanna store them... and i am almost done with my expy and need a better family toy... so it was either a boat or camper and right now boat wins!!! and for hunting toys I've spent enough wife said i am done for this year... almost as much in hunting gear as in expy this year... so don't need much more gear just a range finder... but don't have a boat for my @$$ load of fishing gear and NNY has awesome fishing...

How can I find out what tooth to put in? Also, will the gear help with the mileage reading? Example, I travel 240 miles however the odo/tripometer showed 218.

you make sure to adjust for tires and gears? I forgot about changing gears for a day and was like WTF... then realized what I did and speedo was dead on... but sounds like you are having as much time as me....:D:D

boat is sitting at my parents house... already installed new fish finder, buffed boat and cleaned interior and also made a custom rod holder and "flat line" trolling holder.. (flat line= no downriggers) hope to get it out on the water tomorrow after my doc apt...:(...

and salmon start up here usually end sept or first week in oct... need rain and cold nights to bring water level up and cool off the river.. then I will never be on here... deer and salmon.. yup wife's gonna be pissed that time of year again:D:D

im slow sorry fellas

So all I need is to order the spacers for the rear 2 or 3 inch, then crank up my torsion bars. And put the spacers in the springs? To raise my Expo N extra couple inches? Is it really as easy as it sounds?

The spacers do NOT come with keys unless you buy that particular kit. The keys are for the front to turn the torsion bars and that is a complete waste of money[imo]
Get the spacers for the rear springs, depending on 1,2 or 3 inch. I have always gone with 2". Then use a air to turn the torsion bars and measure as you go
