so 650, plus alignment and camber kit. not too bad, but it adds up quickly. You really ought to do the shocks & struts while you have the truck torn down

what do you use to fill in the holes from the roof rack?

they are the stick on ones but i love them just the same, i got the entire putco kit.

just a billet grille but not the layover type. mine is direct bolted to the frame. if you took my front bumper off the grille would still be there.

this guy used the Eibach Springs Lowering Kit on his 07 Limited EL not sure if he used the kit i was talking about in my first post

you can definitely notice a difference because the fender and tire gap is almost elminated, there is also the mcgaughys drop springs for 07+ Expys but it can only be used on 2WD
Is this kit available for 2009 Expedition 4x4's? If not, does anyone offer any modifications that will improve the handling of these trucks?
