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

    Sorry for the late chime in, i ended up using Bilstein 4600 in the rear. I dont think this is a forever solution, but good enough for now. They work good, but i like the idea of Icons or a mix of Icons in rear, and Fox up front. The front end Icon set up is pricey vs the fox

    My 2014 is now lifted!

    I went with 305/55/20 on factory rims. No spacers and no rubbing. I chose nitto terra graplers G2 because they were the only tire in this size that weren't 10 ply. I had a set of 10 plys on one of my expeditions in the past and hated it. totally ruined the ride

    Towing mirrors - F150 compatibility

    I went with the trailridge tow mirrors on my 2017 expedition. I am very happy with them. THey are as similar to F-150 tow mirrors as possible and work great. However, if you are simply looking for the "Part time" slip ons, these would not be for you.

    Looks like Bilstein is now making 5100s for the 15-19s!!

    I may be chasing a couple old threads but i have a question Im hoping someone on here can answer. I have a 2017 el which i have recently bought Bilstein 4600s for the rear. According to a number of threads on here, this has been done before on a 15 or newer. I originally had the NIVOMAT rears...

    Which clean grill on 2007 Expy (mesh, horizontal, vertical)?

    Hey Mark, what year is your expy? I want to order one of these grilles for my 2017 which looks almost identical to yours but the listing only goes to 2014. Not sure if this is an issue

    Rear suspension options for towing - Rear only coil spacer option?

    Hey MJP2, Im curious about these custom rear coils you are talking about. I didnt realize this was an option. Where do you get these? Are these a Bilstein item?

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    You can’t go wrong if it’s an expedition. They are a fantastic driving people movers with many options and levels of creature comfort. I’ve owned 4 ELs so far. 2-2007, 2012 and currently a 2017. It was hard going away from a proven v8. The power of the ecoboost is great but comes with its own...

    Aftermarket Shocks

    Hey Marco, you are the guy i need to talk to. I am just in the process of pulling the trigger on ICONs for my 2017. I am glad i have finally found someone on here that is running this set up. I have been a bit hesitant for lack of feedback on them. Please if you dont mind provide us with the...

    Looks like Bilstein is now making 5100s for the 15-19s!!

    Im in the same boat. I Have a 2017 EL limited with blown rear shocks. Ordered teh full Bilstein 5100 set. Now i realized the rears are not standard coil overs. they must be the the Nivomat. They are roughly 2 7/8" in diameter. The Bilsteins are smaller diameter. Also, whatever mine are, the...

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

    Thanks again Langer. i may have discovered part of my problem. The shocks that are in the rear of my ex have a diameter of 72mm or 2 7/8 roughly for a diameter. The Bilsteins are quite a bit smaller. I have no idea what is in the rear of this thing for suspension. I removed these shocks when i...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    I apologize for chiming in on this conversation being I have a 2017, but I’m curious what you are all doing for the rear shocks spring seat? I currently have a set of 5100’s sitting here for my 17 but the lower spring seats/perches are welded solid to the factory shocks and bilstein instructions...

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

    Thanks Langer. I tend to agree with you. However i have ran into another problem. My spring perches/seats are not removable. I found this out reading on this forum after i ordered. Apparently 2015 and newer will have this issue. And now i have also confirmed by crawling under the ex. Its hard...

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

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

    Hey, just found this post. Im curious if you ended up doing this and how it worked? I currently have a 2017 max with 2.5" of lift on all 4 corners. I just bought a set of the expedition 5100's and am curious if i leave them on stock setting if they will work with the lift. Any help would be great
