    2000 Eddie Bauer - Rear sway bar suggestions please

    Just finished up the air bags to coil over conversion front and rear. Rides great but seems to have some sway in the corners. I realize the front has torsion bars so not sure I want to tackle that yet. The low hanging fruit in the back is the sway bar. What suggestions do you have for the...

    Rear air bag suggestions - 2000 Expy

    Rear is a bit saggy, so looking to replace the bags. A few questions: 1. What brand do you recommend? Seen some YT videos and it doesn't look too difficult. 2. Replace air compressor at same time? Mine still seems to work. But as a preventive? 3. Replace the solenoids or just replace the...

    17s or 18s on a 2000 Expy?

    Purchased my 2000 Expy a couple months ago. PO had installed 20s with 275/55/20s on it (effectively 32"s). The tires have a lot of life left, so just planning for the future. I don't really wheel much, but when I'm off-road, I typically air down to around 15psi. The 20s are more for looks...

    The dreaded window/run channel

    Front left window channel a bit messed up so as window rolls up, it doesn't stay in the channel. Shop adjusted the mechanism, but window channel has been damaged. Who knew it would be so difficult to find a channel. Finally ended up purchasing an entire driver's side door. Couldn't find...

    120,000 mile service question

    Looking at a 2000 Expy with 110,000 miles. Owner is not original, but knew the original owner and says he has all receipts from new. I pulled a Carfax and everything is clean. It shows a major service at around 70,000 miles with plugs, boots, etc changed out. But that was 10 years ago...

    2000 Eddie Bauer or 2016 XLT - what would you buy?

    I work 2 miles from work and drive, on average, around 7,000 miles/year. Currently test driving a 2016 XLT 4wd, cloth seats, 98,000 miles, pretty bare bones. This one's for sale from CarMax so I have 30 days or 1,500 miles to test her out. I have taken a couple trips and she seems very solid...

    Dealer must reset monitors - what is this?

    Reserved a 2015 Expedition through CarMax. Vehicle is transferring from NV to CA. Was supposed to be ready today. I spoke with my sales guy and he said CarMax had to send the vehicle to a Ford service center to reset the monitors - couldn't do a smog check. Car will be back later today and...

    Monroe vs Bilstein 5100

    Local 4x4 store just informed me only 5100s available for the rear. Want to sell me Monroes to go up front. I am tempted to wait until January for a matched set of 5100s. So, should I: 1. Go Monroes on all 4 corners, 2. Go Monroes up front and Bilsteins on the back, 3. Wait until Jan/Feb for...

    Ford ESP Advice Please

    Picked up a 2014 Expedition EL Limited with 95,000 a couple months ago. Decided not to go with the ESP at point of sale since it was so expensive - $3,000 for 24,000 for the Premium Care Plan. Did some research and through lombardfordwarrantys.com, I can get the following (with a $200...

    Suspension upgrade suggestions - Rancho Quicklift or Bilstein + Spacers?

    Picked up a 2014 Expy a couple months ago and would like to stuff some larger tires/rims under the fenders which means a lift. The stock suspension also feels a bit soft. So, thought I would do everything at once. I have replaced shocks and added lifts to Jeeps (2016 JKU), but the Expy seems...

    First Post - Please help me upgrade wheels, tires, lift

    Just picked up a 2014 Expedition EL. Had a 2003 a few years ago and loved it. Have been looking at the lifts, but don't want to go too crazy. I don't see a rake and from the attached pic, it doesn't look like it leans forward. It is currently sporting 275/65/18s. Would like to keep the...
