EDIT - Okay, Scratch most of this, Just read some other threads that I must have previously missed, sorry for being redundant..
Are they?? Everything I was finding makes it seems like there is a difference in the '15-'17 models rear suspension. Maybe it is minor, I'm not clear, but Bilstein offers replacement shocks up to MY 2014, but not for '15-17 MY, for example. I wrote to Stage 3 Motorsports at one point asking about rear shock options and was told there were 'significant' differences in the rear suspension, and that the shocks from the earlier 3rd generation trucks will not fit?
I'm assuming from the description that these will not work on the 2015-17 Expeditions, curious why not if so, given the minimal changes, and what other quality shock options are available for the '15-'17 models? Thanks..
The rear suspension and driveline of the 2015-2018 Expeditions actually changed quite a bit to handle the extra output from the 3.5L EcoBoost, which caused issues with shock fitment. Unfortunately, Bilstein does not currently have replacement shock options for the later Expedition Models.
Also doesn't seem to be a Rancho quick-lift available for the '15-'17 unless I missed it. Appears it is only available for '07-'12 MY Expeditions?
No doubt there is a need for a good quality lift option for the expeditions, so hopefully ICON will offer kits for both versions. I was also wondering if there work with Adventure Driven would lead to a kit, but had kind of given up hope to be honest. So thanks for the heads-up..
I only asked about rears in regard to the 07 like Adventure Driven’s but the rears are identical across the board for the 07-17s Expedition so it won’t make a difference.
