    Blue tinted headlights yay or nay?

    I like the concept but it looks a little too busy for me. I think maybe if all the lights were one color it would be good? You have a green vehicle, black bumper, blue lights, orange turn signals, amber driving lights, and a white license plate, all up front. Just my 2cents

    Supercharger choice

    Rear lift coils, any ideas?

    The coils I got had the same sized opening. Got mine off Ebay, I believe they were tuff-country brand. Factory Fords coils had the same size opening also (Which is what led me to try the lifted version).

    Rear lift coils, any ideas?

    A word of caution... They are pretty stiff! Had Zone Offroad coils and it squatted the rear too much when pulling a loaded horse trailer so I searched and searched for something stiffer. Rides like an empty 1 ton truck unloaded but great while towing, lol P.S. My rig is 4x4... I think 2wd sat...

    Rear lift coils, any ideas?

    Correct. 6" Front lift coils for an F150 placed on the rear of my 2000 Expy

    Rear lift coils, any ideas?

    Try 2-3" front lift coils from a 95 f150. I used 6" coils from one on the rear of my Expy and it gave me 5.5" of lift.

    How To: Replace rear lower control/trailing arms.

    I had the same problem of the cut off wheel not being big enough. I cut about halfway thru the bolt and then whacked it a couple times with a BFH to snap it off. YMMV

    Expy or Expo

    I vote Expy. My Expedition has a female name and "Expy" sounds better. If we start calling them "Expo's" I'd have to change her name to something more masculine, like Carl. Seems like me telling my friends I took out Carl, drove him hard in a mudhole, then gave him a bath is waaayyy more...

    Can I fit 37's ?

    I ran 315/70/17's stock by just cutting the valance. I would think it possible for 37's with a body lift. Check with "babysilk" on this site. I'm pretty sure he is doing 37's with a torsion twist and a bodylift

    crate motor ??'s

    Yes, that is the "tuning" part. You need a performance shop that can tune the programming, then you tell them what parts you used in the build and they reprogram your computer to work with the parts.

    hard start

    Not sure on a "good" fuel pump... maybe ask Toms89? I know he upgraded his (to maybe a lightning one?) when he did the motor swap. He would know what fits, other than stock ford parts. It may also be the fuel pump relay causing this, I replaced 2 pumps in my mustang thinking they were the...

    crate motor ??'s

    It will not "Just bolt up". While it does displace 5.4l, it is a stroked 302. Tranny will not bolt up, motor mounts will not bolt up, stock fuel injection will not bolt up. A V10 swap doesn't really make sense to me either, due to the extra motor weight and added expense/hassle of the rewiring...

    engine oil gauge

    I have the same problem in mine, only on startup, when its cold out. It's not like it reads low, its like it doesn't work at all. I'm also assuming its a sensor. If I rev the engine a few hundred RPM's, the gage starts working again.

    Torsion bar & shocks info help

    7700 bars are STIFF! They ride like my friends, unloaded, f350 SD. I replaced my worn out stock bars with them and wished I would have gotten the standard ones. Once you replace the air-ride bars, you can use standard type shocks up front. You will have to buy longer than stock shocks tho, as...

    Changing Axle Ratio

    Price is about right. You will gain a few hundred RPM, lose a mpg or two with the gears, but should be able to make the mileage back with the programmer. You'll love the 4.10's, it should have been a factory option. 3.55's suck for towing, trans downshifts too much with em.

    6" lift for EB Expy???

    It's the front that vibrates on the AWD vehicles. The front u-joints wear in at the stock driveline angle and when you lift the vehicle it changes the angle enough that the u-joints are out of the wear pattern they created. Some on here have had no issues with vibration and AWD (Walnuts I...
