I went with 5100s on my 2014 EL three months ago. I'm pleased. A little extra height, nicer ride, and I needed new shocks anyway. I think you'll like them.

After some further research on other sites etc. Im going with the billsteins 5100 series and just using the lift they give. Says 1.5 inches..plus I heard they are great riding struts. Found a great deal for all 4 from jackit.com for 534 free ship plus 50 bucks off. Its says they are in stock ...fingers crossed. Ill have my local shop install since I'm not a fan of pressing springs myself.

5100s way to go, as long as they are the expedition ones and not the f150 ones. Still on a national backorder I believe. I called 3 days ago

Thank you for this info. Posted it days ago looking for a deal on the Expy 5100s and got nothing. I am told/read on the Gen 4 models the fronts are good for 1.6 inches and rears 1.4 which is exactly the minor lift I am looking for...

Question about tire size... I'm planning on putting the Bilstein 5100s on my 2014 EL. My tire guy is recommending a 18x33x11.5 tire on 18 x 9 inch rims. I prefer 17 inch rims. Will the 14 Expy take 17s? He thinks there may be a problem with "clearing the brakes" with the 17s.
