    Bilstein 5100, 4600 & New Coils

    Are you planning on lifting/leveling the truck with the 5100s?? If you are not don’t bother with the 5100s and just get the Expedition 4600s. The 5100s and 4600s are valved just the same. The 5100s have a slightly longer body and of course the moveable snap ring to adjust the perch height to...

    Good things ARE coming our way from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, or so they say

    Yup any F150 coilover even the ICONs will work but you are stuck with a mismatched rear.

    Good things ARE coming our way from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, or so they say

    Not heard anything. I blew a rear shock so had to do something now. I went with the Bilsteins they are cheap enough for the time being.

    Small issue installing RCI transmission skid plate with OEM Engine Skid Plate

    So here is the thing that long slot that the lip goes in does not exist on the plate I received or so i thought. After looking at the pics on their site again and what you posted It appears that the slot was only etched and not fully cut out. Then when the plate was powder coated the coating...

    Traded an '06 for a '17

    Go ahead and install the SSV transfer case skid plate. It is cheap and that transfer case is pretty wide open without it. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/15-17-owners-just-get-the-ssv-transfer-case-skid-plate-it-costs-35-including-hardware.39181/

    Small issue installing RCI transmission skid plate with OEM Engine Skid Plate

    Went to install my RCI transmission skid plate tonight. I’ll be using the OEM engine skid plate until I can cobble together money for RCIs engine skid. Just blew all my cash on Bilsteins, tires, and the trans skid so figured the factory skid would be fine for awhile. The OEM engine skid has a...

    Mirror turn signal light

    Someone around here put these on an XLT with no signals and it was plug and play and the signals worked just fine. https://www.am-autoparts.com/products/side-view-mirrors/AM-914877170.html

    5 Star Calibrations

    As do the 3.5s with any exhaust mod aside from removing the rear resonator. All this tune talk is rather tempting.

    Installed Bilstein 5100s and 4600s on my 2016. What I learned that will save you time

    WAG would put it about 1” with the collar. If I remember correctly NASCARMike used the 4600s with the collar on his 1st install and got about 1” lift, removed the collar and was normal height. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/bilsteins-installed-on-my-17-limited.36886/

    Expedition Expedition to Alaska

    Any parts replacement prior to the trip should be a decent amount of time before to allow some miles to be put on it before the trip.

    Expedition Expedition to Alaska

    I forgot to add extra belts. I would actually put new belts on before the trip and dependent upon how the old lol use them as spares. What will the Age of your battery be and at 85k I would replace the alternator before the trip. Since they are cheap and easy. Also a small tool kit in case you...

    Expedition Expedition to Alaska

    https://www.themilepost.com/highways/alaska-highway/ Make sure you plan your trip very well. The site above will be your best resource. Extra wipers blades and bulbs for sure. Not a bad idea to have a clear film put on the windshield as there is lots of gravel and chipped cracked windshields...

    6x135 or...

    This. That is why the center cap is so ridonkulously big it covers the lugs so you don’t see the empty holes. You want HUB centric wheels (the vast majority of wheels are) but with multi lug pattern wheels you can find lug centric wheels and you will need a hub centric ring that fills in the...

    2015 Ford Expedition ride height and suspension upgrades.

    Another member here mentioned covering the tread with chalk and drive to make sure all is making contact with the road.

    Next item on the list: bench to bucket.

    Glad you all bumped this thread. I am getting ready to remove the center seat so the oldest boy who finally grew into a booster can sit in the 3rd row but the other 2 in car seats are still accessible from a door. Not worried about armrests as the two center rows will have car seats.

    Installed Bilstein 5100s and 4600s on my 2016. What I learned that will save you time

    I would presume as much. But that does not help much considering I presumed that the lift heights would not be that much different and that presumption got me doing the fronts twice. May want to cross reference the spring between the F150 and the Expedition for those years, they may share a spring.

    Transmission Fluid Change?

    Under lower mileage circumstances this is generally the case. But at 350k I would not want to introduce any new sorts of detergents into the system at all.

    2015 Ford Expedition ride height and suspension upgrades.

    Looking good. Hopefully I’ll get to my speedo here soon. How did you choose a new tire pressure? Shop I got my tires mounted at put them at 50 psi according to my OBDLink. No warning light, not sure if our rigs use a low trigger only or not.

    UPR Catch Can 4th gen

    Aren’t they like $400? Hard to pay that when the JLT is like $140

    Transmission Fluid Change?

    350,000 miles you are rolling the dice either way. I’d be inclined to just leave it with that mileage. I am presuming you are putting money aside for a rebuild/replacement?

    Shocks/struts

    You sure the top is clocked correctly and the stud towards the inside of the vehicle is lined up properly? It is nearly impossible to see if that stud is lined up or not so you have to be pretty spot on with the two you can see. I am guessing that back stud is not making it to the hole. You have...

    Bug Deflector

    The shield itself is not a sticker but attaches to the hood with 3M tape instead of mounting points under the hood.

    Shocks/struts

    What is not going back in? Length, studs on the top hat, bottom bolt?

    Installed Bilstein 5100s and 4600s on my 2016. What I learned that will save you time

    In 2015 Ford started pressing the spring perches on to the shock bodies. Prior to that they were a snug fit but easily tapped off with a hammer like in the video. Not so much anymore. You have to cut up the shock or use a hydraulic press.

    Motorcraft parts or after market?

    Is corporate the problem what are the issues? The reason I ask because my local NAPA is freaking top notch! It was just purchased by corporate and not independently owned anymore. I have been twice since the buy out and one of my go to sales counter folks was there and had the same superior...
