    How can I remedy an imbalance in my Expy's weight?

    The rake isn't the issue; it's the weight imbalance caused by the chair and lift. A 'bull bar' seems to be the only option short of a full-on solid-steel bumper...

    How can I remedy an imbalance in my Expy's weight?

    The lift is hitch-mounted, and as it's over 400# it's kinda permanent. The chair doesn't stay on it, but goes inside when I'm home. There's not much room front-to-back, but I try to keep it as close to the hitch as possible when I put the chair on it. That said, I was also thinking about a...

    How can I remedy an imbalance in my Expy's weight?

    All well and good, but a permanent lift device would render my mobility lift unusable, so it's out. Air bags just aren't in the budget (I'm on military disability pension and my wife's a full-time teacher, so money is more than tight), especially as I'd need the on-board inflation option, and I...

    How can I remedy an imbalance in my Expy's weight?

    I have an '07 Expy with a heavy-duty wheelchair lift attached to the trailer hitch. The lift alone weighs like 400 lbs+, but the mobility chair weighs another 300+. When going down the highway, the front end feels floaty and there's a distinct lack of control to the point where I feel like I'm...

    Wanna go bigger on a budget...ish.

    Great ideas, and whatever I can do will encompass computer reprogramming; I plan on re-programming the computer eventually anyway, so maybe I'll have to do both at once. I understand the ride will be harsher; I'm used to much harsher from a box truck, so as long as I can find tires that will fit...

    Wanna go bigger on a budget...ish.

    I'd like larger tires (height & width, if possible, but height most) on my stock '07 Expedition without changing wheel sizes. How far can I go without clearance issues? (I'm already thinking LT tires, but can't get a straight answer yet...)

    Primewell Valera AT Tires...Thoughts Anyone?

    I like the Cooper Discoverers, but as I'm running the Valeras on my '07, my .02 is that they're good for the money. Even in cold temps, they've been stellar, and in the Oklahoma heat/rain, they're as good as any at the price.

    My first question(s) on the Forums!

    As Justin Wilson used to say: "How y'all are?" In my 'where ya from' entry, I made comment on why I got my '07 Expy, and am generally very, very happy with it. I would like to know a few things though, if you'd bear with me: * I got it used (170K on the clock), but it's running like a peach. I...

    Where are you from?

    Newb from Norman, OK Greetings from a Nebraskan living in the bowels of Oklahoma University territory (14 ys now!) I seem to be the last in either my or my wife's families to have 'gone Ford', which I did with a 2007 Expy from a place called Express Credit Auto in OKC. LOVE the truck, but don'...
