    What Down pipes should i order?

    I did not. Simply purchased the downpipes as they come.

    Leaking rear CV AXLE

    Just heard back and they're saying the seal is leaking on that side of the dif. They're covering it but claiming that it's happening because of my HR lowering springs even though they were installed and I got the alignment done shortly there after and they were able to get it within factory specs.

    Leaking rear CV AXLE

    I'm going to assume you had the 2 bolt diff. Did they replace with the same? Also did you have any modifications to the car that they tried to point to as a reason to not replace?

    Leaking rear CV AXLE

    There's quite a few on the front diff but I am unable to find much on the rear after several altered searches. If you know of one of two specifically please point me in that direction.

    Leaking rear CV AXLE

    I got home from about a 50 minute drive yesterday and noticed an unusual smell. Upon inspection this morning I do have fluid on the bottom of the diff on the driver's side as well as some build up around the axle/diff connection. Has anyone else had a similar issue? It's a 2020 with 37k miles...

    What Down pipes should i order?

    I've had the whoosh DP's since they came out and have maybe 17k miles with them on and I've never had a single CEL. I have a 2020 and they were connected to Thermal R&D 2.5" exhaust.

    Cracked Front Camera Lens

    I still have not repaired mine and probably won't until I plan to sell it. You may want to look at the @UNBROKEN build. He figured out how to remove just the grill without entirely removing the entire bumper.

    Eibach Lowering Springs

    As stated by @UNBROKEN you just need a good alignment shop. If they're any good they can get it within factory specs without anything extra and if they tell you that you need camber bolts you just need to find another shop.

    Exhaust Question

    I've been running the 2.5 from thermal for over 2 years and I still love the sound of a cold start and when you get on it. My wife doesn't complain about the sound and there's no done at all. I've since added the whoosh Motorsports down pipes and it's only a little louder since. The thermal...

    Lowering Rear only

    You'll be happy with that choice. Just make sure you can find a good shop to do the alignment. Some will say they can't get it back to within factory specs but it can be done.

    Lowering Rear only

    H&R full set will definitely level you out and look the best. I have had them with a 305/35/22 tire with no issues. In regards to clearance I think you're looking at a drop of 1.5" max so may not be worth doing at all of you're concerned about any clearance issues.

    'Worthwhile' bolt-ons

    As previously stated the tune(by ZFG) is a must as is the intercooler especially since you're in Texas. Run it hard or hell just get on the highway when it's 85 before and after the intercooler and you'll notice an immediate difference. In regards to the downpipes @UNBROKEN has previously...

    305-35-22 Tires vs 315-35-22 Tires

    I have the 305-35-22 Michelins and they for and look great with h&r. Definitely nee the alignment and a good alignment shop who can push everything as close to factory spec as possible.

    22” Wheels??

    I bought my Velgens VF9's directly from them for $600/wheel shipped and they were on my door step 3 days after I paid. It actually took quite a bit longer to get the tires in 305/35/22 because I went with Michelin's and this was a year ago when tires were generally speaking really hard to come...

    Replacement windshield

    I didn't specify. Was prepared to push them on getting a factory replacement if the first had any issues but mostly couldn't stand the giant crack's and just wanted it replaced ASAP.

    Replacement windshield

    About 6 months ago I had them replace mine after the windshield wiper arm slipped out of my hand slamming down and instantly sending multiple long cracks through the windshield. Cost was about $1000 total here in Texas from Safelite and I haven't had any issues since then. That said I can't...

    22” Wheels??

    Yes it's the combo of the two. The factory wheel is quite heavy so going to a lighter wheel is what's cutting the biggest portion of the weight.

    22” Wheels??

    Looked at both BC Forged and Vossen. Ended up going with Velgen 22x10.5 that ran $600 a wheel and then the Pilot SS ran another $650 a corner. Also correct on the weight saving's being about 15lbs a wheel/tire.

    Who has Velgen VF9 wheels on the Explorer ST?

    I have these wheels and had the gorilla lug nuts. Had to go to a long thinner lug nut as these wouldn't work with the wheel. Not sure if the brand as they were just what discount tire had that would work.
