just thought I'd share some pics of the mods to my 99 Ex...

here is how she looked day 1
Attachment 2818

soon after getting her home the airbag busted on the driver side rear, so rather than repairing that one bag, i decided to go with a 3" front and 2" rear drop and swap in some coil springs out back...

here is what she looked like pulling into the garage:

note the sag out back... sad...

this side was good...

im sure yall know, but for those who may not, the onboard air compressor switch in some Expeditions are under the dash on the passenger side just in front of the kick panel

ok, front springs:

a little comparison (stock front vs 3" drop front)

rear springs... sure are prettier than those ugly bags!

i am most happy with it!

i also added a flowmaster to it and i ordered a black stubby antenna as well...

my goal with the truck is to black it out via a XL or Sport F150 front facia and rear bumper, ditch the trim on the side, and swap out the lights for the blackened projector beam lights... that will pretty much finish up the outside. oh and maybe a set of 20" Harley rims if i can find a good deal on a set...

i had to pull the rear shocks today. they were rattling and upon investigation i determined the metal sleeves inside the rubber shock bushings were too large for the bolt allowing the shock to move on the bolt. i had some sleeves that fit the bolts and fit inside those sleeves so now no more rattle!!

anyone know how to turn the check suspension light off? it is on and is bothering me...

Nice work...she's riding pretty low to the ground. Might look like the truck that Rob & Big roll around in by the time your done.
