    Easy Safe Leveling for Expedition

    Look at the picture on the first post. these are the F150 lift bilsteins set at 2" lift. NO ISSUES!! The Expedition is level, but if you judge by the wheel openings, it looks "too bulldog" to some. It rides 1000% better lifted then stock. Bilstein doesn't make adjustable shocks for the rear...

    Detroit duber: You can't do math, you tell me to put my head up the ass of a bull, you tell me you are cooler than me. A grown up opinion would be: hey an approach not done yet. Not for me, but maybe for someone. Did you ever consider the advertising you bought into with spacers is bogus (I...

Losing 2 inches of travel in the middle of the suspension movement doesn't mean anything, but is sure will at...

    Easy Safe Leveling for Expedition

    The ride quality is same as original. The Bilsteins are great shocks, so a very damped ride. My car had 100K miles, so the original shocks were blasted anyway. New shocks are the least expensive way of getting a huge improvement in your vehicles ride, handling, safety, etc. You cannot lift...

    Easy Safe Leveling for Expedition

    Hi guys, I wanted to level the front of my 2007 Expedition. I think everyone knows that the leveling spacers are the least expensive, but the worst way to level if you want to keep your ride quality. I took a chance and bought the Bilstein 5100 shocks for the F150 that have 3 height grooves...
