Always loved the 2004-08 body style F150s so I picked up a 2004 F150 to replace my dead Rover. Its going to be a long process, but I hope to post the build-out here.
More than likely the snorkel kit will have to be custom made. Is it a 5.4 or a 4.6? Make sure you check the IWE and if you have a 5.4 and have to replace the plugs get a lisle tool it will save your ***. Good luck and nice truck.
Its a 3". I had an 07 and did the same thing. This 04 I bought seems to be pitched way more forward. Without the lift it measures 24" from the ground rear and 17" in front (to bottom of the chrome not black plastic wind fairing)
That is a nice looking truck, I also drive an 04 f150. I'm pretty excited to see your snorkel set up. Are you also going to be raising the vent lines for your axles and water proofing electrical components? Or is it even necessary? I ride atv's a lot and know that to go really deep you have to raise more than just your intake, I'm not sure if it's the same for a truck.
Not to get off topic, but if you buy a 100k mile rig... change the fuel filter ASAP. Truck started missing so I changed mine and no more bucking and missing.
