Update on my Offroad Expedition on 35s

[2012lI]

Hi guys, it has been a while since my last thread where I was gathering informations for diff swap.
The second pic is the modified expedition next to my identical 2wd expedition.
I am in the process of testing the shocks and might lift a bit more.
For now the truck feels great, very torquey and decent fuel economy and no rubbing with the 35s. The shocks are much better than the stock or bilstein that I had on my 2wd.
This is the update of the completed truck, here are the specs:

4.10 front differential, rear 4.10 ring and pinion both from first gen raptor

Baja kits upper control arms from f150

17" first gen raptor wheels with 315/70r17 Yokohama A/T tires

25mm wheel spacers

Profender 2.5 Shocks (equivalent to king or fox 2.5), f150 front shocks and altered silverado front shocks fitted in the back

Custom tubular front bumper with light bar/led lights

Rear bumper trimmed and skidplate

The back of the front fenders were trimmed and the running board was shortened to avoid rubbing

Aftermarket transmission cooler

The raptor diffs swap was straighforward.
I directly swapped the front diff, for the rear I only replaced the pinion bearing then installed the ring and pinion to spec and that was it.
For now both are open diffs, might put a locker in the future.

I also fitted a 35" tire in the spare location. I had to kick it a little while raising it and it fitted like a glove

That's a really nice custom bumper. Who did the fab work?

That’s a great looking expedition. What all did you have to modify to fit the rear coilovers? And how do they ride?

Thank you! I got some inspo from your rig btw!

The top plate was replaced to fit the bolt pattern and also the lower bushing. The bushing was replaced and a sleeve has been put through.

Luckily the had all the spare parts for their shocks avl.

I will try to get better pictures of the rear coilovers

Did you find a way to increase the rear wheel travel? It seems to be limited by the control arms

They ride amazing, much much better than stock or the bilstein 4600 I had in the past.
They are on the firm side but not too firm, I really like them
