Are lowered Expeditions allowed?

This is with a 2/2 drop, and a few bolt-ons from Lightning and Harley trucks. I'd like to remove the running boards. But my elderly MIL needs them to get in, even lowered. Planning to shave the luggage rack, mod the hitch to hide it better, and a few more things.

I measure 0-85mph in about 8 seconds. That'd be nice. But not in the budget. I have a different car for that part of the performance envelope. Then again, if I come across a wrecked L cheap enough...

so you're saying the fact that your bumper and valance line up with the fender curve in the before picture

Good catch. Front bumper was definitely pushed out to allow for more clearance. Picture doesn't lie. You can clearly see the rest of the upper pad don't sit under the grill surround any more.

Well, technically, that's not cutting.

well the pad doesn't sit under it for the most part anyway, there's that little lip and it meets up with the grille around then. they all stick out, to me it just looks cut.. the edges aren't even smooth anymore

this is true, the edges look cut and they don't line up. but who am i to say, looking at pics it looks cut, but if he says it isn't guess it isn't...
