ive posted this in the expedition forum but sense the expedition shares 90% incommon with the f150 i thought it would be wise to post it here as well


ive been the proud owner of my 97 expedition for about 4 years now and tipping the scales at about 175k now, its been a hell of a good vehichle put almost 40k on it with out a problem. my wife just bought a 2008 dodge ram so the expy goes to me now! its not my daily driver so im thinkin about getting a bit wild with it.

the base SUV is a 97 expedition eddie bauer with the a 5.4/4 wheel drive. except for the drivers seat showin a bit of wear and tear and a faded header pannel the the car is in amazing shape.

im wanting to put a f150 lightning front bumper on it and a f150 roll pan to get rid of the chrome front and rear bumpers. does anyone know if this bumper will fit on? i understand ill have to replace the header pannel to make it work but will the rest of the mounts still work? really have no idea. was even wondering if a wings west f150 kit will fit on it?

ive allready got a forged 5.4 internall kit, im gonna build a a motor to put some boost through. still searching for a turbo/supercharger kit. any ideas? so far ive got my eye on a STS system or a procharger p1sc

ill retro fit my new ground force lowering kit from my f150 ill that nevet got installed to lower the SUV around 2 " and getting a new set of wheels to make the thing really stand out.

and finnaly getting a nice black gloss paint job, maybee i think that SUV would look slick with all that even if i dont change the color and keep it that dark burgundy color thats on it.

any one got any advice that can help me achieve this idea? and what will happen to the expedition when i put 8psi of boost through it( suspension, transmission, front driveline). because the last thing i would want to do is spend 6k or 7k on body and paint and parts just to rip out the transmission or tcase and differential.

thanks!
