60,000 Mile Maintenance & Goodies

[TxRanger351w]

Rapidly approaching the 60k mark in our 2014 Limited. We never made it far enough in our 2011 to worry about brakes, struts/shocks, etc.

I'd like to go ahead and do some minor enhancements to the brakes, suspension and engine/exhaust all at once. Are there any reputable vendors with packages? If there's really no option besides the Sport suspension I'll pass. What is everyone else using for struts? How about brakes & pads? I'd like to do an intake, exhaust and tune as well. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Most of what you seek has already been discussed and can be found using the Forum's handy 'Search' feature. Air intakes themselves do little except to increase engine noise. To get performance increases they should be combined with a 'tune' otherwise it's a waste of money according to many members. There are several threads on after market exhaust systems but they all appear to be for the Sport models.
Brakes;
OEM Or Aftermarket Brakes?

There are several threads on aftermarket exhausts but they all seem to be for Sports.
Intakes.
Cold Air Intake (CAI) Discussion
Intake options - 3.5 NA
Tunes'
Has anyone done performance tuning to a 2013 3.5 non-EcoBoost?
Livernois - only for the N/A 3.5L Explorers
Not much on struts has been posted. It seems most replace shocks and struts with the OEM equipment.

That's the problem, I kept coming across things for the Sport. Google results are Sport.

The search can be useful, but often overlooked is that it requires a certain number of characters (I believe 3), and there's issues with different terminology and poor spelling/grammar that confound the issue. I did poke through quite a bit.

I'm about to hop over to the Forscan thread and ask a few questions.
