    2nd Gen 3" Body lift COMPLETE

    Umm, there is none, unless you can weld and fabricate. Body lift and leveling kits are the only way. With body lifts, not much need for a write up. You make the stuff you need in the thickness you want, unbolt the body, raise, stick the blocks in, bolt it back down and lengthen the few things...

    Allow myself to introduce...myself.

    Flattered that you think about me all of the time, but try to remember, this is the internet, and nobody here takes you seriously. With that said, you really need to work on your reading comprehension as it is severely lacking. As well, if you really knew as much as you claim, you'd know by the...

    So for the last 60 years, folks have been using electric impacts? Wow....

    One is meant for the Ecoboost, the other for the 3v. Do you know what in the hell you are doing?

    '21 F150 wheels

    I've been thinking about a set of these on my '11 I know they're 18", I've confirmed that with some research but can't find an answer on the width. Seller claims they're 9.5" wide but that seems like an odd width to me. They're available on the Lariat Sport and FX4 packages on the new...

    Irony, much? Answer my question please.

    Swapped out front struts, not bad

    We did that a couple of months ago. More deflection from you, typical of your ilk.

    Leaking Struts again !!

    I see what ya did there ;) As are you. Really, if you don't know the difference between quality parts and cheaper junk... I'd pick OEM stuff over any parts store house brand stuff, but I'd run Bilsteins or KYB over OEM. Just a quick question....what filter do you use when do your oil...

    12’ Front Struts

    Yeah, well, if you grease the lugs, then you stand a good chance of over torquing them.

    In case you didn't notice, hoss, you're the only here that says that. Several others have all said they have seen it as well as myself. "more nonsense from you". Pffft.

    Leaking Struts again !!

    Bilsteins surpass OEM in every way. For our application, KYB may be close to the same, but nothing else is, I guess Rancho's stuff may be, but I've never used their products other than my Jeeps. They were ok there, however.

    12’ Front Struts

    Thank god I do my own stuff. I've personally seen a wheel and tire taking a trip on it's own while the vehicle it just so recently parted ways from was crabbing down the road.....one corner way up in the air, and all because the guy at the tire place used an impact instead of a torque wrench...

    Snow driving observations

    All other things being equal, the tire's contact patch is the same, regardless of whether it's rolling as intended or skidding laterally. The difference is the compound of the tire and it's intended use. Airing up/down for particular terrain is a tangent, but until there's an effective method...

    Monroe vs Bilstein 5100

    And more post whoring from you. At least when I make a post it is to pass along an observation or ask a question, rather than you, which is by and large complaining about what everyone else is doing.

    Swapped out front struts, not bad

    Learn how to quote a post you old grump. Leave the advice giving to those who have been there, done that, and know how to go back and kick ass again. That ain't negativity, it's fact. Sorry that I don't have the ability to be tactful....most places/people this day and age are more concerned...

    Swapped out front struts, not bad

    I'm not singling you out, I've been looking up a lot of stuff for my own personal use, with regards to springs and whatnot for these rides, and these quotes of yours that I copied....they are testimonial to why nobody should pay any attention to your advice. You have NEVER changed springs on a...

    Aftermarket Grille 2017 Expedition

    I wanted to use the emblem but the attachment points weren't quite long enough for the little quick nuts to get a good grip on. When it warms back up I'll figure a way to secure it on without it being shit-rigged up...

    Monroe vs Bilstein 5100

    No, and the springs that come with the monroe quickshit, err, quickstrut kits aren't as good as OEM springs. This is what I'm dealing with one mine...the rear has sagged. I'm at the point now where I'm going to be into mine more time because the god damned springs are cheap pieces of shits...

    Opinion on 2012 w/20k miles

    Oh wow, that IS a nice interior. Sounds like a decent truck and rather looks it too. Honestly, I'd visually check the coolant...if it looks good, and tests good, then I'd run with it. Diffs and trans case are up to you ultimately, if it does indeed have a stringent maintenance history as that...

    Bilsteins and spring seats...

    I finally have all the parts to start doing the Bilstein/2.5/1.5 spacer job. Also got in a set of 24 lug nuts that are anodized black to match the truck wheels that are going to go on after the shocks/spacers are done. Then an alignment. As a consolation price, my '06 Exploder got some LED...

    Just treating you like you treat others here. A spade is a spade. I see it all in black and white and call it right like I see it. If I offend you so much, then bub, take a look within. I'm acting exactly as you do. Check all my other posts. Not once have I even been shitty to anyone else. YOU...

    Stuck in park !

    I read just fine. You keep whining about navigator this, navigator that, like you're special and it takes special shit that no other vehicle uses. Get over yourself. You're the one that needs etiquette...always interjecting your BS about how your method is better when it's more work or more...

    ISO 2017 Expedition EL Lift Kit ?

    Interesting that the lower fascia from an '07-'14 fits the newer style headlights. I'd been wondering about swapping the newer grille, lights, and bumper cover onto my '11. Probably won't as it would cost a bunch, but at least that answers my question on whether it would fit..
