looks good...so you went from 17" stock to 18's? did you go with drop springs or just performance springs? i dont care for bolt over...but it still looks good...

from 17" to 20" f150 wheels.

what do you mean with drop or performnace? sorry i am learning english.


on the tail lights i am thinking on the red led anzo but they are out of stock everywhere, now i am thinking on the 07 tail lights.

truck looks good. i think freeway means did you just use drop/lowering springs or did you get performance springs. springs designed to give you more perfomance ie better handling? you might also think about getting better antisway/antiroll bars.

i think i saw that you bought them from someone on here...so you have the drop springs...giving you a drop in stance...then there are performance springs that only give you increased performance such as stiffer or softer suspension...but they keep the original factory ride height...check out IPCW for tails...thats what i have...

Thanks FREEWAY, yeah i bought them from "michaelinchains" a member of this forum, the springs lowered the expy 1" or so....i want it lower but can't find drop springs that give me more lower looking.

 

[GAINMOB]

lets us know if you ever do...i've only seen them offered for 1st gens...cant remember if i've seen them for 3rd or not...

 

[ExpediTuner]

i mean i want it more lower, i found this guys from belltech, they are offering lowering kit with 2 o 3" off front and 2" rear...

check on ebay, they have a lot of black headlights for 2gen expy.


By the way i just installed my hids but my right headlight is pointing to the moon, the other one is too low, i tried to adjust with the little 4mm screw but it won't do anything, anybody knows how to fix it? i search on the forum but there's no certain information, thanks.

Are you sure you have them in their correctly? Are they a oem headlight or are they a cheap knockoff? Ensure you have the bulbs in their correctly. A lot of times with the knockoffs, unfortunately it's the price you pay to save some money. I gave been debating on just splitting mine open, painting them and then reselling them.

who?? them??

for the spindles

if you know how go ahead and do it...i bought my current head lights from ebay...then shipped them off to be retrofitted...everyone wanted too much to paint them black...and actually was cheaper doing it this way...
