Hey Everybody, just joining the forum.

I am running a 2021 Expedition Max Limited, and I have done a couple of modifications to it to help with towing a 7600# camper and a family of 7:

So far...
S&B intake
K&N oil catch can
MSD performance coils with new ruthenium plugs
Mishimoto Intercooler
SPD catted down pipes and an MBRP 3" exhaust
MPT Daily Street/Tow tune @ 87 octane
Helwig Sway bar in the rear
Yukon gear front ford 8.8 diff regeared at 3.73 ratio
I built the Ford 9.75 rear with Yukon Gears and an Eaton Truetrac locker regeared at 3.73 ratio

Yet to do:
Front-mount Mishimoto oil and transmission coolers
Bilstien 5100 shocks in the rear
and Method 315 18" x 9 +18mm wheels and 10 ply tires

I am building a good tow rig for road trips and camping with my large family. Everything I do myself, so I am looking forward to learning from all of you!

This was the differential in its "pretty much finished" state. I'll post some pics up here soon!

So far, 1000 miles in and running good. I would find a junk yard Ford 9.75 housing and build it, then swap them in. If you are looking for a couple of good housings, let me know, Im looking to get rid of a front and rear.
