No, Bilsteins all around. Funnily enough, I notice the rubbing really only when backing up. I might need to have the lady friend drive it in reverse while I watch to see where it is coming from prezactly.

I tried to cram as much in there as I could....ahem, tire that is

With the wheels spacers, I didn't figure it would rub. It certainly makes the Expy look a little better in the rear, the fronts only seemed as if it moved the wheel/tire out a fraction of an inch or so.

It's gonna get new rubber and hopefully new wheels soon...I'll likely step down a size just to get a little more torque "back"...before I could go up any hill and it wouldn't kick down a gear, it does now. Just a nitpicky issue. Gears in the diffs aren't an option right now.

Just returned from roughly a 7,000 mile trip around the western US and my 2010, that I bought specifically for this journey, performed flawlessly; with the exception of the UCA's hitting the springs and it riding pretty terrible off-road. But, I guess that can be remedied by replacing/upgrading the shocks.

Nice!! Fellow Memphian. Out in Millington area.

Nice! I’m from Houston too. Hope y’all got through the winter storm ok! Do you mind me asking how much TX Offroad charged to install readylift?

I just want to level my Navigator but can't find spacers to do it. All the online ads only specify Expies.

I thought Navigator and Expedition suspension parts are the same. Checking Rock Auto, the coil over part numbers are identical. Since the spacers mount to the top of the coil over, the Expedition spacers should work no problem.

HelP!
I have a shop thats ready to set me up. Blistein 4600 shocks, 2.5/1.5 level kit. and im trying to go as big as I can with the tires and wheels without having to make any Trimming.

I have a 2012 Limited and it has POWER Running boards. im thinking 33" is as big as i can go?
stuck on 275/75/17 or 285/70/17 General Grabber A/TX.

any suggestions? too small?

That's funny because I looked everywhere and nobody lists anything for the Navigator. This is the closest thing I have found for leveling;

I don't have power running boards but on my 2011 I went with those exact same spacers and Bilsteins. Have 2017 raptor wheels with 285/75/17 and have no rubbing at full lock on mine and have trimmed nothing.

 

[MaxinRelaxin]

Right on thank, I have 18s with a +12 offset and Grabber AT/X 275/75/18 being put in next week. Hope I like the setup.

I lifted my 2014 an inch & 1/2. Looks great up in the air a bit! With the warmer air today (and sun) I will give it a good hand washing ... can now roll underneath and spray the undercarriage off with the hose to rinse as much salt off as possible.


possibly some overkill, i hosed it off yesterday then took it through the car wash. i'll hand wash it today and thoroughly hose the underside off then take it back to the car wash for the free 5 day re-hit. will spray some wd40 (or maybe Boeshield T9) on the gorilla nutz and park it for a while and drive the 2003 BEATER in the snow wet salt roads. Spring is coming!!

update: I took it down for the free car wash. Supposedly there is an underbody spray as part of this. Got under there after I got home and no spray. I'll have to go back and ask them WTF. It looks like maybe they spray the first and last couple feet and nothing in between. Dont know if this is standard or WHAT

Somebody should open a chain of underbody spray stations, they would make millions.

That’s funny as shit. I’m looking at the picture and think, that don’t look much different. Then I zoomed in to try and see the tire size. Then I realized, what a ******** I am, it’s sitting on boards
Just thought I would share a laugh.
“note to self “
stay out of the shed!! haha

I just picked up a 2011 SSV EL from the Canadian Military with only 55,000 kms! Zero rust, looks like it never left the base (CFB Trenton)

Matt black wrap, gloss black Raptor graphics (2 kits), Raptor rims (powder coated black) with 33" MT tires, Bully step bars, bull bar, tint, NO LIFT & NO RUBBING! I couldn't believe it!!

Looks like a completely different truck! The tires are noisy yes, but a Magnaflow Rumbler muffler and a MBRP tip fixed that! Can't hear the tires over the exhaust now!! LOL!

I have guys stopping me everywhere I go now! Such a Unique looking Expedition!! I call it my Special Forces Raptor Expy!

I put Bilstien 5100 all the way around with fords latest revision of spring which has a bit more lift. I am running Fuel 20s with Goodyear ultra terrain tires. It’s plenty high enough for me and the electric running boards actually have a purpose now.

That looks fantastic. Are you going to do anything with the heads/tails?

My 2016 Expedition XLT EL is missing the roof rails and cargo cross bars. Any body know if the regular XLT or any other model fits the roof of the EL? I want to get the extra cargo capability of my Expedition

Finally have the F150 Sport wheels on (from a '21 truck)

You'll want/need rails and hardware from an EL, the SWB rails aren't as long. I'd guess they could be used as the front holes are in the same place, but the back holes aren't. They're further back on the EL. Good luck!
