Hey All. I've been in northern Utah the last 8+ years, originally from PA.

Just bought my first Expedition on Friday, a 2015 EL XLT 4x4 with the 3.5 EcoBoost. I've owned a 2001 Suburban (that's been in my family since '01) for 10 years and finally wanted to upgrade my camping/hunting rig. I've driven numerous EcoBoosts, F150s and Expeditions, as rentals the last several years and have been really impressed.

I'll be looking to add Bilstein 5100s sooner than later for a mild lift/level and, more importantly, a better handling ride. I added these to a 4Runner I owned briefly and couldn't believe the difference in handling -- body roll, nose dive in breaking, etc. all much improved...contrarily, even with a lifted ride height.

Did either of your 5.4’s require a phaser job?
