Made my own "kit". Hand cut new grooves on a set of FX4 front shocks to lower the spring seat 1.25" Had the rear springs re-arched by 3"at a local spring shop. Used 3 1/8" spring perches, new 2 1/2" u-bolts and a set of Jeep spring plates to flip the axle. With the new spring plates on top of...

Yep, have added nav to my non-Sirius, completely separate systems. Ford lands a full set of maps in the Sync3 then uses GPS, no wi-fi or cell connection is needed for the nav.

05/97 5.0 likely does not have PATS so that's a plus. Will also likely have a lower pressure fuel injection w/return system so a few challenges there. Think the a/c wiring might be a challenge. The brakes should be fine moving to the 8.8 disk brake axle. Early '97 will also likely have a...

2019's, yes. Guess I should have said 2" higher at the rear wheel arch. The front arches are only marginally higher than std. With the additional rake, the FX4 tail gate is even higher. One thing that has puzzled me, Ford Parts clearly differentiates the "special" FX front suspension bits...

I am not sure that is the case. My wife's FX4 sits 2" higher, and does not share rear spring part numbers with std 4WD springs. I purchased a pair of 4WD rear springs for my RWD and found they DO share the same part number as my RWD. So yea, I bought, and shipped in, a pair of exactly the...

No

Probably not everyone's cup o' tea. 2/4 drop, WildTrak roof rails, DiamondBack w/power locks and auto lighting. Truck works for a living and dropping it makes bed, cabin and roof access so much easier. Tailgate is the better part of 10" lower than my wife's FX4.

Rancho's RS999333 just need some aluminum 12mm x 16mm x 40mm sleeves to slip right in. With the external adjustment knob, can dial in the shocks to suit. Their 5000 and 7000 shocks can also be used. Except for the dimensions of the inner metal sleeves on the bushings the 98 - 04 Nissan...

Nope, a oiled cotton ait filter, a hand held OBD unit and a s/w license to flash the PCM with the hand held. The Roush kit includes a different air filter box but is otherwise very similar except for the $$$ for the box and name.

Apples to oranges -- 45 hp gain with 93 octane fuel over stock with 87 octane. Like the Roush kit, only about 15 hp gain over stock 93 octane adaptive. The warranty is a plus, as is the handheld but still a lot of $$ for the gain. Levittown Ford Parts has great price, but availability is...

Not too difficult, can buy complete kits for $$, or source used APIM, screen and bezel). Maybe 30 mins to install. Download Forscan, pay for the 12 month license and configure as needed

Have read the Expo G-Force sensor needs to be included with the ABS module for the Expo solution to work.

Swap the AWD 4R70W out for a RWD version, or, swap the tail cone and output shaft to convert the transmission to RWD only. Crown Vics, Marquis, Town Cars, even V8 'stangs use the 4R70W so easy to find in RWD form

Had not found the GM connection, makes for a wider net to cast for info. With the Canyon/Colorado duo on the road as long as they have, might have more luck. Most of the Jeep info is HD locker related, not daily street limited slip stuff. Thanks!

96/98 dual fuel line Expo 5.0 -- Best EFI and ignition Ford ever paired with the 302. Only needs 6 or 7 wires between body and engine to work. AFR heads, decent cam, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, torque monster headers. Dial fuel pressure up till EFI has trouble keeping fuel ratio at...
