Choice of Front Struts for 2007

Greg0197 · Jan 19, 2019

The tech person told me that the shocks are Gabriel or Monroe and the springs are Eibach.

The import kits have KYB struts.

The full kit for mine was $579 and shipping was $140. Total was $719

Just curious what folks thought.

Gabriel and Monroe tell you all you need to know. Don’t bother.

Just get the Bilsteins at a little over $400 for all 4 corners. Sure you have to unloaded and reload but it is not that difficult to do.

Actually on sale for like $350 and free shipping.

I'm with Black on this. If the shocks are Gabriel or Monroe, don't bother. Bilstein is top shelf stuff.

I’m not worried about unloading the stock springs. I have the tools to do it. I’m wondering about the stock springs. Have they sagged over their life. I don’t want a low rider. I want it back where it was stock.

Maybe I’ll just order the springs and buy the struts separately.

Bilstein is good. In order it's:

1 Tie: Icon
1 Tie: Fox
3: Bilstein
4. Rancho

Bilstein is a fine shock for DD but I can tell you the difference between 5100s and Fox 2.5s with resi's is insane. Also keep in mind the 5100s are not offered for the expedition at this time but the F-150 shocks should fit.

You forgot King. Those would be above Fox and ICON.

There is also a 6112 for Bilstein.
And yes for 15-17’s the fronts are from an F150.

There rears you are stuck with earlier Expedition models and cutting off your factory spring perches or getting NAPA perches.
Unless you go Rancho

I picked up the Bilstein B6 4600 series last year and am running them with the original springs. No complaints.

I put Arnott assemblies on the rear to replace the faulty airbags on my 2008, really happy ... not sure what to put on the front to match OEM ....
