    2017 Limited standard suspension vs Platinum with CCD?

    I had a 2017 Platinum EL and really loved the CCD suspension setup but that unfortunately got wrecked and I'm looking for another clean 2017. I haven't been able to find a really clean Platinum that has everything I need (4x4, HD tow pkg) but I did find a King Ranch with rear load-leveling and...

    1997 EB Suspension woes.

    I've been out for a minute or ten, but like that creepy cousin who shows up asking for money I have come back. FYI, we still love this truck. 1997 Eddie Bauer 4x4. Recently we have noticed a creaking noise coming from the front axle, we think. It is a rotational type noise meaning it only...

    Aftermarket Torsion Keys on Coilover Conversion Suspension

    Hi all, I recently got an 01 EB that has been converted from air suspension to coilovers up front and springs in the rear. I'm looking for about 2 inches of lift and 34 or 35 inch tires mostly for looks, with some occasional offroading and towing. The rear is easy - I plan on installing coil...

    Saga: 2001 Eddie Bauer Air Suspension Conversion

    Let me tell you guys about my air suspension conversion saga, and hopefully it'll be a resource for someone who wants to try to do what I just did. Could be that someone here can answer a question for me, too. Firstly, I didn't go the route that most take. I did a LOT of reading here, and...

    Replacement Shocks and Coil Springs for 2006 Expedition (4WD, Coil Suspension)

    Hi everyone, I’m looking to replace the shock and coil spring assemblies (both front and rear) on my 2006 Ford Expedition. It’s a 4WD model with factory-installed coil spring suspension. The OEM shocks and springs have held up well over 107k miles and still provide a stable ride, but they’re...

    Passenger side front spring seat failure

    Not the greatest pictures I know but I think it speaks for itself. Just uh... yeah. Went over a sharp grade decrease only doing 30, and the spring seat snapped and is now being shoved into the LCA. Shock is definitely not shocking on that side, driver side spring seat is intact but the driver...

    Hi all. I have been spending some time doing research here and elsewhere regarding a lift and new suspension. I am going to be "overlanding" and mountain biking mostly in Colorado from ~ mid July to some point in the Fall, camping at dispersed sites for basically the whole time. I have a 2017 EL...

    Suspension noise

    2017 XLT EL Only noticeable at lower speeds (<20) due to road noise. Seems to be a hollow rattle sound coming from the rear suspension. I’ve been under there a made sure all linkages are stiff and bushings are intact. Even sprayed some lithium grease on the bushings one at a time to see if I...

    Can bad suspension ruin tires that look like new?

    I purchased a 2003 Expedition in Arizona that's beautiful inside and out but has high miles. The suspension was worn out, badly. Lots of play in the ball joints and split CV boots. The owner said he had about 10,000 MI on the like new tires. Howls loudly. So I sunk over a grand into it and...

    How miles did you get out of your suspension?

    Hi everyone, I have an 04 EB with 154,500 miles that is starting to wander and drift a little. It seems to follow undulations in the road more than it used to. Additionally, I am starting to feel the road bumps in the brake pedal and steering wheel. It feels like little taps. They are barely...

    '08 Suspension refresh time - Options?

    My 2008 XLT 4x4 is sitting at 223k miles and the suspension is getting a little tired. I also needed new brakes and wheel bearings. I figured while I had everything apart to do those I might as well upgrade the struts. My use case is mainly fire roads up to some very mild offroading, eg. 4x4...

    2001 EB Suspension Q's

    I got some suspension questions about my 2001 EB. I was looking over some of the bushings on the control arms and noticed that some are looking pretty sad. I need to get an alignment done anyway and thought now would be a good time to change out the whole upper control arm for simplicity. The...

    Upgrading towing capacity rear end swap for towing

    We recently got a 2000, 5.4 2wd with the axle code 17, and based on what I researched this is the 3.31 axle ratio. We are looking to buy a used travel trailer but the GVWR is 7500 lbs which makes me think I need more towing capacity? we would be parking it in our driveway which is on a hill. I...

    Lowered Expedition

    Hey guys and gals. Wondering if anyone has lowered, or looked into lowering the 4th gen. My thoughts are that if the front suspension is the same as the F-150 to use Belltech coil overs. It seems that the rear would be an issue. My truck is a 2021, not build yet. Thank you.

    2017 Expedition Rear Suspension Upgrade?

    I am still looking for a solution to my sagging rear end! The OEM manual load leveling shocks do nothing for my situation. I tow a trailer with maybe 600 lbs. of tongue weight. I have a weight distribution hitch and the full towing package, and my back end squats terribly. While still under...
