    F-150 suspension fit ?'s!

    An f150s suspension is about 1/2 an inch taller, so just factor that in, but basically everything in the front is interchangable. I'm running 5100s from an f150 in my Navi.

    Bilstein 5100s + 3/2 Readylift on 15-17

    Don't stack lifts. I tried with a rancho quick lift and spacer. The angles are way too steep.

    Bilsteins and spring seats...

    The second and third gen are slightly different, but still bolt in. You should have no issue using the second gen stuff.

    6.2 motor going in 2011 Navi

    $3700 for an engine with all the accessories, wiring harness, pcm, intake... It was a lift out from a 2017 f250 with 50000 miles on it. I'm guessing another 1000 will need to be invested in the electronics. I'm going to do pretty much all of the work.

    6.2 motor going in 2011 Navi

    Cost. And 6.2 over coyote reasoning was, I wasn't going to go down in displacement, and this will make all of my vehicles larger than 6L.

    6.2 motor going in 2011 Navi

    Got the motor delivered today. 5.4 is coming out. I'll try to document the best I can. Anyone who's done this on here?

    03 4.6 L 2wd Front Lower Ball Joints stuck

    The lowers are just a super pain. Keep cranking. I just did my wife's, about to do mine once all the parts get in. And make sure when you are putting the new one in, you are flat and flush. I made one look like a top hat.

    F150 vs Expedition front suspension

    Just posting findings. As soon as my spring compressor gets in, I'm going to do it. I haven't been one to shy away from experimentation with this truck.

    Putting newer 20" (or 18") rims on '06

    If you run used tires, 20 is the way to go. 18s are hard to find. Especially 35 12.50 18s.

    F150 vs Expedition front suspension

    I've been doing some research and got under my expy and a buddy's f-150 and they look identical. I also ordered some Bilstein 5100 for an f-150 to put on my expy, looks like it's going to be a perfect fit, but they still don't have interchangeable part numbers. It looks like F-150 struts may be...

    Ultimate Exterior Retrofit - Turning a 2005 into a 2017

    I looked into it. It would be quite doable from what I saw.

    Super custom 04

    I'm reinspired to start working on my truck again. It's getting a locker and 4.56 gears now.

    expo well sorta

    I've been trying to encourage someone on Craiglist to do this and buy all my parts of my Expy that I converted to a Navigator. It looks good, but I would rather have an 07+ Navi front.

    Rolled bumper build on Navigator conversion

    Thanks for the comments. Headlights are mounted; did it from below. It was crazy taking a reciprocating saw to a headlight that sells for $1100 at the dealer, but the tabs had to go to clear the hood. I found them for $120 for the pair on ebay. Skid maybe installed tomorrow. I have loads of...
