    Dangerously Poor Rancho QuickLift Welds

    Yeah it's definitely been a challenge getting them in lol. The fronts took quite awhile and I'm still trying to figure out how to fit the back ones in, only had a little while to work on it today. As far as the travel of the components, I've talked to everyone and anyone on these forums that did...

    Dangerously Poor Rancho QuickLift Welds

    Thanks for the responses everyone, really appreciate it. So I received the replacement parts from rancho yesterday, and the new struts had the same defect (or designed flaw) as the other ones. So instead of waiting another month and a half dealing with rancho again, I just decided to fix it...

    Dangerously Poor Rancho QuickLift Welds

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased some Rancho Quicklift struts for my 04 EB, and noticed the welds were terrible. Specifically where the lower strut mount is welded to the strut itself. See below: I was wondering if anyone with some expertise thinks that these welds would be sufficient...

    Installing lift kit, but it won't fit!?

    Status update: Got the front suspension done tonight, just had to disconnect the upper ball joint (thanks @Hamfisted!) and with some persuasion from a pry bar and a floor jack under the LCA I was able to get it in. But I noticed the upper control arm hits the spring at full extension, anyone...

    Installing lift kit, but it won't fit!?

    The instructions for doing the airbag to coilover swap said that I'd only need to disconnect the tie rod, but that wasn't taking the 2 inch pucks on top of the coilovers I put on. But I'll try disconnecting the upper ball joint instead of the LCA mounts. I already loosened it up a good bit...

    Installing lift kit, but it won't fit!? 2004 Eddie Bauer 4wd

    Hey everyone, here's the situation. So I got the Rancho quick lift struts and a 2inch supreme suspension lift kit on top of that for a total of 2.75 inches in the rear and 3 inches in the front more than OEM coilovers. Right now I am working on the front right one, and I cannot for the life of...

    Axle spline count question for running a Truetrac or locker

    Kryo, what did you end up doing? Trying to make the same decision for my 04 EB at the moment.

    Odd Part Found in Trans Pan

    What kind of gear oil are you using for the front & rear diffs? Do you have a drain plug on both? Was planning on doing mine pretty soon.

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    I have the shop repair manual for my expy, and it looks like the compressor has a 150 psi pressure release valve, so I think compressor would be more than powerful enough. The switch would need some custom wiring or else it would be running constantly. I found a pin-out for the compressor system...

    Heavy duty roof rack

    Just bought a tube bender to start making custom roof racks/bumpers for my expy. I can let you know how mine turns out when I finish it if you want!

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    Been searching online and haven't found much about this topic so I figured I'd start a thread here. I've been doing a lot of research on how to turn my 04 EB into a decent overlanding vehicle, and the plan is eventually to have front and rear lockers. Air lockers are a thought, and even if I...

    Install F150 Bilstein 5100 or 6112 products on my 2004 Expedition?

    I've done hours of research online about this exact issue, but have not found anything conclusive either. There is basically no aftermarket true lift kits (not spacers) for 03-05 expys. There are TONS of lift kits for 150s, and I've been eyeing a few different 5"+ kits, but haven't pulled the...

    Ride Height sensor recommendations

    Probably won't get an answer here unfortunately, the 2nd gen forum is pretty dead. If you're having issues with the air suspension though I'd recommend just swapping over to coilovers. A lot less maintenance and way easier to fix if it does break. A conversion can be done for around $500-$600 if...

    2nd Gen 3" Body lift COMPLETE

    I saw that the other week, thank you though! When I heard suspension lift I thought he meant he got a lift....via the suspension lol. Not spacers. Semantics. Was talking to a fleet manager of my local ford dealership this weekend though and he told me that they have done multiple true...

    No rush for this, just wondering out loud

    Bumping this post, planning on putting big ol' tires on my '04 eventually and would like to know a cheap method too. Anyone know if you can do it via one of those scanner tools? Was considering buying one of those "universal" ones that works on multiple brands, but not sure it'll be worth the...

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    Sounds cool joe, keep us posted on your progress! For now my plan is to hold off and start saving up for some long travel fox or icon bypass shocks, and then just start cutting and welding to put em on my rig. I've got all the tools I'll need to do it just lacking a bit in the expertise...

    Awd issue, but 4x4 mode no issue

    Fluid change and top off never hurt. Being that low could likely cause a problem.

    2nd Gen 3" Body lift COMPLETE

    I think it was rize. They seem to have been long gone. My most recent plan is to try to use 150 parts, as there are a plethora of options for those. I'm reading through the forums now to try to find more info, haven't found too much about people putting in f150 parts though. Seems like the front...

    2nd Gen 3" Body lift COMPLETE

    I' ve got a mig and a tig and a 9000lb lift. The OP of this thread said he has a 3inch suspension lift, I was hoping to see what he did.

    2nd Gen 3" Body lift COMPLETE

    What suspension did you use for the 3" lift? Having trouble finding anything to replace my air suspension with that doesn't just put it back to the OEM height. Maybe we'll get that write up in 2021!

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    Thank you so much for your post! I am starting to lose my mind trying to find a good lift for my expy. I've been calling and emailing all of the major lift companies, and everyone has discontinued their 2nd gen expy products. Rize appears to have vanished off the face of the earth, every single...
