Howdy, I've been reading here for a while and want to introduce myself. We bought a very clean 2015 el Platinum last summer and it's time do some work on it to get it tight for spring break and summer towing road trips. Wife and I have 7 year old boy and 5 year old girl, pointing out because their safety/fun/adventures drive most of my decisions, this being no exception. I'm ordering parts for rear end now and will post in appropriate section tonight. Glad y'all are here as a resource, I'm looking forward to it. Cheers. Steven

Congrats on the purchase. What are you towing?

We are looking at our options now, I was previously looking at an f250 for a fifth wheel when I came across a deal on the expedition I couldn't pass up and it's outfitted with HD tow package. We will drive her the long way to Colorado and back (Marfa, New Mexico, Boulder, Amarillo, home) over 9 days in mid-March. I doubt we will tow that trip, settle for a Yakima rack and/or a hitch rack. Without making this a long post, the suspension has been "splashy" and progressively worse the last few months and needs some work. So I'm gonna do some combination of bushings/arms/tie rods/ball joints sway bar, etc. front and back with Colorado as a test run and buy a travel trailer by summer. I see you're attached to a trailer in a similarly weird 3rd gen model years as I am. I've got so many questions. Haha. Thanks for saying hello.
