2004 F150 Build

[jusnicho]

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.

Old ride (engine blown):


F150:


The Plan:

• Snorkel
• Side Steps
• Fender Flares
• Lift
• Mud Tires (33"ish)
• Lots More

Looks great. Glad to see another F series on here.

Very nice. What snorkel kit are you going with?

 

[jusnicho]

Snorkel kit is high on my list, but I'm not finding a lot of choices for my truck.

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 the 4.6 and I've been looking into fitting a custom one. Just ordered a 3" lift for front.

May not be getting a camper shell. Take my ATV with me a lot.

What lift did u go with? My 2.5" I have I my 07 is about 1" higher in the front than in the rear.

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)

Also, if its too much I'll just lift the rear too.

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.

Looks good. What are your plans for tires and lift. What brands have you been thinking about?

 

[jusnicho]

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.

That brown sludge came out of the filter.
