nice...i went to drop mine in the rear but i can't find drop springs for the 03-06 models... i only find a drop kit that drops the fron 1.6 and the rear 1.8 but it retails for about $400...

 

how are shackles going to work on a truck with coil rear springs??

I have almost an Identical expy as you and I have coil rear springs (IRS)








I'm thinking a 2-2.5 coil spacer on each corner with some good shocks and more aggressive tires will do the trick

 

'99 4x4, 295/70/17 (33") tires, 2" spacers in rear, T-bars turned

 

 

Here are some updated pictures of mine on the Helo 7091s.

 

new members with new expys please post photos here don't let this thread die

 

Not a new member, but here are some of mine after a detailing. Looks 100 percent better.

 

That truck looks like new Glen R. It makes me want to loose my running boards and get tube side steps.

 

It's not bad considering, I paid less than 7 grand for it last fall. Of cours I have probably put another 2500 in it since. still not bad though considering original list was close to 37.
I definitely like the look of the nerf bars over the running boards. They are just as functional, just look a little slicker.

 

This was a shot before the intercooler and stuff went on, can't find the newer ones for some reason. Its a powerdyne 8#

 

how much did the blower run and what was all involved?

 

Used F150 blower setup; $1000 on ebay
Used intercooler custom made for a Thunderbird; $240 ebay
New Intercooler pipes, $126 ebay
Random schit parts; $300 ebay
42# injectors, used from a stang, FREEBIE!
90mm MAF $120 ebay

Labor, alot of blood and sweat later, there you go.

Exhaust, paid for 3' pipe, labor for bending, not telling a benders wife he was cheating on her (freebie lol )

Random Misc other stuff needed for it all, prob another $1000

 

awesome looking rigs guys...almost makes me wish I had paid the $4,000 dollar premium for a 4x4




@98Navi
very nice...but wouldn't it have been easier to slap a Cobra setup onto your motor?

4.6 4v right?...or do you have the 5.4?



seeing your setup is making me miss my F-150 RoushCharged...I don't wanna play with my Expy too terribly much just yet. It is the "family" vehicle

 

400HP grocery getters are the shiziznit

Its a 5.4 32v

The cobra stuff didn't mate up with the non-pi heads and from what i heard didn't fit under the hood. You had to change to the blowzilla which was like 7g's

 

damn, I knew the Navi's were 4v's...but a 5.4 4v.


That was 10 yrs ago, why the hell can't we have that motor now? stupid IMO


I get your setup now. I was thinking you had the 4.6 4v (Cobra motor)...wow, I'm even more impressed. But only 400 HP with 8 PSI? at the crank or wheels?
