Slight Lift Help
Yes, I'd recommend the 5100s. I installed them with a ready lift 3/2 and it was too high (control arm angle led to front end wander and creaking). So took out the front spacers and put the 5100s at highest and its perfect. No rub with 315/70/17s.- johnmcarguy

Sleeping/storage platform for 3rd Gen Expedition
Glad it was helpful. I'm very happy with the way the bed turned out and it fits real well in the EL/Max. It's just the right height for looking out the windows while laying down, and plenty of storage underneath. And I can take it out easily if I want to use the 3rd row for passengers.- johnmcarguy

I cut it to the right width and length, shortened 4 of 6 legs, and rewelded it all together. I...- johnmcarguy

Show your Lifted 3rd Gens
2017 w/ ready lift & 5100 bilsteins. The "before" pic shows the stock ride height and stock wheels. The "after" pic shows the ready lift & raptor wheels & tires. In the end the front was too high for my taste, the control arm angle had affected the handling, and I was worried about ball joint...- johnmcarguy
