Replacing the fuel filter would be ALOT easier than the spark plugs and wires. I recommend u use ALL Motorcraft parts as well. Just set aside a whole day 1 weekend and take ur time, do 1 cylinder at a time so u keep everything in the right place. U will need a 5/8" deep socket, a swivel adapter, some dielectric grease (put on BOTH ends of plug wires), and several more varying extensions.
For that stuck peddle feeling a simple cleaning of ur throttle body would suffice. I would buy 2 cans of Seafoam brand fuel system cleaner (at most auto parts stores, white metal can w/red letters). Add one can to 1/2 a tank of gas and run the 2nd can through ur SUV's power brake booster vacuum line (going to the intake manifold). U will need to do this outside with the truck running, then go drive the heck out of ur SUV (for about 30 minutes). Trust me here, the SUV will smoke, stink, even rattle some, but this is ALL power robbing carbon being BLOW out of ur engine.
As far as my inquiry on the ride height, I just meant to question if this SUV had a Lift kit installed or sat at stock ride height.
