    Updating my sloppy suspension

    My plan was Bilstein 4600s only. Do I need to replace the actual factory springs back to OEM? Not sure how wore out springs get… also, I’d really hate to be a couple grand into this thing. I do plan on keeping it but I don’t want to put 50% of its value into a repair so trying to be semi reasonable

    Updating my sloppy suspension

    How do you decipher a good vs. bad bushing? Rot? Is there slop? Or is there a process to properly inspect them?

    Updating my sloppy suspension

    I’m going to upgrade the suspension in our 2012 step by step until I’m happy with its performance. Right now it’s an absolute mess on the road. Is the right order the following?? 1. Bilsteins 2. Rear sway bar 3. Front sway bar? Does the order of sway bars matter? Front first, rear first?? Do...

    Is an aftermarket intercooler really worth it for towing??

    Interesting post, and I like the approach… Makes me wonder how many aftermarket IC reports are in some way related to the louvers. I mean you probably remove those if your spending time putting an aftermarket unit in Now that said… lots and lots of people report favorable results in conditions...

    To all you Gen 4 guys who had a Gen 3 (EB)

    I was going to go either 5-star or gear head on tunes and still researching intercoolers. I know what’s out there for F150s but not sure what fits the Expeditions. I guess we’ll see what I can get for ours and what I can find on the used market. We have a low mileage 2012 XLT (short wheel...

    To all you Gen 4 guys who had a Gen 3 (EB)

    Loki - I’m one of those guys who can’t leave hood enough alone.. so a tune for sure, maybe IC and intake just because. Also Hellwig bars most likely happen One thought was save the money on the 17’ for some parts. Do the load leveling shocks only come on certain packages in the Gen 3? Deep...

    To all you Gen 4 guys who had a Gen 3 (EB)

    So we're looking to upgrade into a EB Expedition. We currently have been traveling fulltime for the past year but will be settling back down and looking for the do all rig moving forward. I'm torn between a Gen 3 EB and a Gen 4. For those of you that have owned both what are your opinions...

    Aftermarket Radiator Upgrade

    Are you having temperature issues? I haven't seen upgrades for the Gen 4 Expeditions out there, but if it shares are radiator with the F-150 (I have no idea if it does) then there would be lots of options I'd think. Could also consider a cooler T-stat which is relatively common in the F150...

    Stiffer Suspension

    Helwig sway bar, Sumo Springs and Bilstein 5100 (i think that's the number) seem to all be popular upgrades. In order of how I'd do them.. Start with sumo springs, they are cheap ($150 or so) and easy to install. From there probably a coin toss depending on if you actually need new shocks or...

    2020 Expedition Platinum - Performance Recommendations

    Performance wise I’d go in this order 1. tunes - BCB, ZFGRacing, 5 Star, Gearhead 2. Intercooler - Not sure who all is out there for the Gen 4 Expeditions 3. Downpipes+turbo flanges 4. Intake - this is only if you want to hear the turbos, no real performance 5. You wanna get wild, start...

    Power Difference

    Deadman - Is your Expedition tuned?
  18. L

    6000lbs tow capacity seems under rated!

    Did you manually downshift to bring the RPM up some or did you let the computer do it's thing?

    After a few trips with 2020 Expedition ...

    From what I’ve seen in the 4th gen and this forum, if you wanted to increase stability have a look at LT tires on the Ex and Deadman has had some really good luck with upgraded sway bars. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/rear-sway-bar.42911/

    Anyone Running Dual Batteries?

    Lots of spare tire fuel cells out there.. The real question is would you need to run a small transfer pump and move fuel from the spare tire location to the main tank? Don't really know how all that would work.

    Quick MAX Dimension Question

    Can anyone tell me the overall length of a MAX with the rear hatch open? Front bumper to rear hatch.... I'm trying to figure out if it'll fit in my garage with the rear hatch open. I think it's going to be really close, but it might work. Thank you ahead of time guys!

    Towing Advice Please - Considering Aftermarket Modifications

    So far the absolute best heat management from the F150 guys is downshift (increase coolant flow AND decrease boost) while watching the pedal... These torque monster motors like to lug creating high boost (lots of BTUs from the turbo into the cooling system) so if you can drive the boost down and...
