I installed a Steeda bar on my F150,and it made a HUGE difference in the handling of the truck-esp when loaded.You could get that one,or one from Hellwig.They sell a nice swaybar setup as well.

Yes, the Expy rear suspension is totally different from your F150. If you want to stay OEM, I think you could get one from a Lightning. I got the staggered rear shock adapter from a Lightning on mine to minimize windup, but I have not added the rear sway bar (if I do it, I'll go aftermarket; there's really no reason to pay dealer prices).
You have to be careful in throwing a rear sway bar on. Your truck has a tendancy to go into 'oversteer' especially when empty. What this means in practical terms, is that the rear end wants to change places with the front end. Not Good! A rear sway bar may increase this tendancy under certain conditions. That (and cost) is why they are rarely supplied originally.

The Expedition is pretty much the same as our F150's from the driver's seat forward. But from there back, it's a totally different animal.
Good luck with it
